TRIPOLI, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Libya's Benghazi Central Hospital on Wednesday launched an urgent appeal for provision of medical supplies, Libyan eastern-based news agency reported.
"The hospital's departments of obstetrics and gynecology, emergency, intensive care, operations and shelter suffer from a severe shortage of medicines and first aid kits," said Khalil Qweder, the hospital's head of information office.
"The hospital's patients need continuous medical supplies," said Added Qweder, calling on eastern authorities to urgently provide assistance and aids for the hospital.
Libya is suffering a severe medical crisis, with public hospitals lacking medical supplies and equipment due to deteriorated financial situation.
The country is also plagued with political division amid insecurity and chaos.
