Malta struggles to treat Libya war victims

  • 12 years ago
Malta has received many medical casualties of the Libyan war.
But despite assistance from Qatar, the island country's 800-bed general hospital cannot keep up with the soaring numbers of injured fighters.

Malta is now calling on the US and the rest of the international community to send a hospital ship to meet the soaring medical needs.
