The medical humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières has now evacuated their personnel from Zintan, a city in western Libya, as a result of repeated bombing

Rome / Geneva - "In recent days, the center of the city was bombarded every afternoon, with rockets that have fallen to only 100-200 meters from the hospital," said Morten Rostrup, medical intensive care unit of Doctors Without Borders. Fortunately there were no serious injuries.

MSF has worked continuously from March to Zintan. The team of five people, including a war surgeon, a doctor and two nurses, intensive care, has supported the hospital in Zintan during the last four weeks, managing the influx of casualties caused by fighting between the forces of pro -Gaddafi and insurgents in the region of the mountains Nafusa.
