Lack of Adequate Medical Staff - Tripoli

Lack of Adequate Medical Staff  TripoliThe growing number of war causalities has hit hard on the Libyan Medical aide. There were still incidents of firing in Tripoli and more patients to be treated.

A British doctor working in Libya says hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of people injured in the recent fighting. Henry Gray, an emergency coordinator at Doctors without Borders in Misrata, said the conditions meant it was difficult to treat people. "There are a lot of doctors here, because the Libyans have spent a huge amount of effort to train doctors, but if you don't have nurses and cleaners in your hospitals it makes them very difficult to run," he said.

A kin who stays out of the country said that "I don't think anyone ever imagined this would happen. I think that is one of the reasons people are still, although they are very happy, a little cautious.

In the mean time there are claims that that the water supplies had been poisoned in Tripoli. Water supply is being tested after two people were hospitalized for illness. There are wide checkpoints and announcements by the clergy instructing people to not drink the water.

Residents are cautious but on the whole the place is jubilant and a few have come open on the roads to celebrate the liberation of Libya.
