Relatives of the victims of Tuesday’s attack on a maternity hospital in the west of Kabul have said that “most of the victims of the attack were pregnant women.”

On Tuesday, 24 were killed and 16 others were wounded in the attack that ended after more than five hours of fighting, said the Ministry of Public Health.

Three attackers stormed the hospital that admits pregnant women and mothers with their children. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but one security source to TOLOnews that there is a guest house with foreign nationals behind the hospital, who were the possible targets.

Hajar, 28, is one of the victims who went to the hospital to give birth to her second baby; however, she, along with her unborn baby, were killed during the attack.

She was buried in the west of Kabul on Wednesday in a graveyard alongside other victims of yesterday’s attack.

Hajar had a six-year-old daughter named Razia.
