Libya: Horror in Misrata grows with fresh shelling, little aid

The nightmare in Libya's war-torn city of Misrata intensified Monday amid more shelling on the city and desperate measures to get medical care, an opposition spokesman said.

"The aid coming from outside is not enough. There is no hospital," said the spokesman, who wanted to be identified only as "Mohammed" for safety reasons.

He said 21 people were killed and more than 100 were injured from shelling Sunday in Misrata. Monday's shelling fell on the city's critical port area -- Misrata's lifeline to humanitarian aid -- and an industrial area that includes small businesses and small factories.

Note EU-Digest: NATO should move faster here - this kind of artillery shelling by Gaddafi forces can be stopped by NATO air attacks because they are coming from open spaces and are aimed at innocent civilians.
