Humanitarian situation in Baba Amr

The humanitarian situation on the ground in Baba Amr until this moment is still a mix of rocket launchers, tanks, Mortar launchers hitting the area from all side. More than 500 shells have come down on us since the morning, targetting homes, protest places and mosques and Alanwar Mosque was shelled with more than 10 shells which led to the destruction of a large part of it, surrounding homes were also destroyed. The humanitarian condition is difficult at the moment, there is no bread, no medication and no nutritional supplies and as we mentioned in our last report, a field hospital was targetted and we lost a number of our medical crew. There is no form of communication inside the area and any moving thing is targeted by snipers surrounding the area.

Life is in a complete stand still, there is no escape or safe passage from the area and there is no safe shelter inside the area from the rockets and shells. The number of martyrs has reached 60 from the last statistic we recieved from Doctor Mohammad Almohammad (the head of the field hospital). These are their names:

There have been more than 200 injured, mostly children and women and elderly because shelling concentrates on houses. There are many injured who have permanent injuries now, for example the loss of a limb or an eye (or both) and body disfigurements. It is expected that some of these injured people will die because they are in a critical situation and there are no supplies to treat them completely
