Isolation along with air strikes take toll in Gaddafi's Libyainform.com/world/isolatio…
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - The impact of the West's two-pronged effort to oust Muammar Gaddafiwas apparent this week in Tripoli, where doctors struggled to treat Libyans injured in recentNATO air strikes amid a deepening shortage of electricity and medical supplies.
Hassan Moussa, senior doctor at Tripoli's Central Hospital, said physicians had been forced to improvise treatment for critically injured patients as supplies of oxygen and other necessities run short six months after the United Nations renewed sanctions on Libya.
"We are physicians but we are unable to save people. Where is the oxygen? Where are the laboratory supplies, the electricity, the refrigeration?" he said. "We ask God to end this nightmare."
