Injured Libyans to be treated in Turkey

Libyan citizens who were injured in clashes with the Gaddafi forces will be treated in the north-western province of Istanbul.

In a statement released Tuesday, the Health Department of Istanbul said that a Turkish military plane will bring around 50 Libyan patients and their relatives to Istanbul on Wednesday.

Most of the Libyan patients have gun shot wounds or burned parts.

The relatives of the patients will be provided with a residence and their transportation to and from the hospital will take place in specially reserved vehicles.

There will be translators on duty for the patients and their relatives.
