Caring for the wounded
An ICRC surgical team continued to treat patients in Sbea Hospital, south of Tripoli. Meanwhile, a second surgical team was transferred to the Nefusa mountains, where it has started helping medical staff at the hospital in Yefren to perform operations.
The ICRC has donated much-needed external fixators, wound-dressing kits and supplies for the treatment of war-wounded patients to the main hospital in Zawiya, west of Tripoli, and to the hospital in Yefren.
