Libya: Turkish ship rescues injured from Misrata
A Turkish humanitarian ship carrying more than 250 injured people from the Libyan city of Misrata has arrived in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
Misrata, the only city in the west still controlled by the rebels, has been under siege by forces loyal to Col Muammar Gaddafi for several weeks.
Doctors on board the ship said many people had extremely serious injuries.
Meanwhile, the eastern oil town of Brega has seen continued fighting between rebels and pro-Gaddafi forces.
Government troops are reported to be holding ground near its university, but are reluctant to engage rebels because of the risk of Nato air strikes.
The poorly armed and disorganised rebel forces are unable or unwilling to push on towards Brega and are calling for more help from the West.
