From the frontline to the hospital

A few kilometers from the frontline of Defniya, the volunteer doctors and nurses work with revolutionaries directly after they're injured from rockets and gunfire. Spending the day with the staff revealed emotional stories from the fighters and also those who are saving their lives. Both foreign and Libyan medical teams work around the clock to ensure care for those pushing West towards Tripoli.

As if the rockets weren't enough, we see in these pictures that they are packed with ball bearings. As mentioned in the previous post, these rockets have been shelling Misrata daily. Luck happened to be present again, as no one was home when this rocket ripped through the ceiling.
With this type of warfare, it is chance that keeps the fortunate civilian's of Misrata alive. This ever present threat filters everyday family life. The fear of attack stays fresh, as does the smell of…

A moment of silence lingers as a thick stream of smoke blurs my view of the young Libyan whose musical lyrics have inspired countless revolutionaries to rise up against the regime. Flicking his cigarette and smothering the still burning ashes with his shoe, he shifts his downturned eyes directly towards my lens and simply answers, "No." The word echoes against the sterile white walls, sparsely…See More
