The hospital was hit by a series of aerial bombing raids from 02:08 a.m. until 03:15 a.m. local time on Saturday (after 22:00 GMT Friday).
The bombing took place despite MSF reporting the hospital location to all the parties in the Afghanistan conflict and continued over 30 minutes after US and Afghan military were first notified of the incident, according to the humanitarian organization.
Washington and Kabul have launched a joint investigation into the bombing.
