Over 300 wounded from Lybian arrive to Turkey

A Turkish ship evacuating hundreds of wounded from Libya arrived at Turkey's Aegean coast on Tuesday where a field hospital scrambled to provide emergency treatment, RIA-Novosti reports.
The ferry-turned-hospital brought wounded residents from the besieged Libyan city of Misrata and from the rebel stronghold of Benghazi for treatment in hospitals around western Turkey. More than 160 ambulances were on standby.
The ferry is carrying 321 wounded and 108 other Libyans accompanying them. The boat which carried medical supplies to Libya, is also returning with 29 foreigners, including those from Greece, Ukraine, Britain, Uzbekistan, Germany and Finland, and dozens of Turks.
