Abstract
- Doctors and patients fled a hospital on Wednesday in northern Sri Lanka after days of artillery attacks by government and rebel forces, aid groups said. It was the last medical center in the region, where the rebels and government troops have been fighting. United Nations officials said cluster munitions appeared to have exploded near the hospital, but the government denied having fired them. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
