>The strike happened as residents broke their daily fast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. >The death toll has continued to rise, and the Taliban government says it believes the number of people killed is about 400, although this figure has yet to be confirmed. Many people were also injured. Timing the strike to when patients broke their Ramadan fast seems especially cruel since they had to know exactly where in the building most people would be (I apologize if I have a wrong view of the celebration that is eating together to break the fast during Ramadan. I'm going off of what I've seen on YouTube so please correct me if I have anything wrong.)

No one (sane) is suggesting Pakistan intentionally bombed a rehab hospital.   So it was wasn’t “timed to strike patients breaking fast”.   It was possibly timed to strike *soldiers* breaking fast, but that really depends on exactly what Pakistan thought the building was.  It used to be a training and logistics hub, so would’ve had sections where people gathered to eat, but also would’ve had “workplace” sections that would be mostly empty at that time.  Who knows what Pakistan thought they were bombing.

Lets just agree that you shouldn't bomb a place if there is a >.1% chance of 400 civilian casualties.

I hope we don't hear about mass deaths so much, we become immune when hearing about it.
