Gaddafi will retake Misrata in days without Nato help, say rebels

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/18/gaddafi-misrata-nato-rebels

Twelve families

Live, breathe, pray, wait

In a tumbledown house near the sea

Others live in open air

In shipping containers

In filth and hope

Misrata,

Bombs rain on you,

Unceasing days, nights without rest

The sea taunts, the only hope of escape

Water surrounds, but may not save you

Your children have haunted eyes and empty bellies

Your mothers are killed waiting in line

For bread

You have no baby formula

No diapers

No anesthesia

Your hospitals, reduced to Medieval scenes

Of carnage and need

Gaddafi

The Brother Leader, The Guide

sends only

mortar bombs & tank shells

Everywhere his soldiers menace

With machine guns

With cluster bombs

With hunger and fatigue

With despair
