Libya: medical evacuations from Sirte
On 11 October 2011, ICRC staff evacuated 17 patients for further medical treatment, bringing them first to a field hospital from where they were flown to hospitals in Tripoli. This was the third group of wounded people evacuated by the ICRC from Sirte in less than a week. This gallery depicts the operation in images. On 17 October, the ICRC evacuated another 21 patients, bringing the total number of evacuees from the Sirte hospital to 49.
This patient had been waiting anxiously to leave Ibn Sina hospital before his condition deteriorated. While being transported out, he expresses his relief and gratitude.
