Trauma at Tripoli's Abu Salim hospital

Hospital in the Libyan capital is scene of desperation for civilians, rebel fighters, and Gaddafi loyalists.

This is a disturbing video about the reality of war, especially when a war has reached the stage of street to street pacification. The rebels in Libya seem to have done well, but the trapped Gaddafi supporters seem to be taking revenge on rebels in their midst. These images of a trauma hospital in Tripoli tell a nasty story.

Al Jazeera reports from Tripoli with a warning that some of the images may be disturbing

The Abu Salim trauma hospital in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, has been cut off to most of the outside world due to fighting in the area.

Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons managed to reach the hospital this week, where he found bodies with gunshot wounds lying in and outside of the building.

He sent this report on the status of a hospital that is severely understaffed and cut off from medical supplies, with a warning that some of the images in the video may be disturbing.
