Doctors at the Al-Jalaa Surgical and Accident Hospital in Benghazi announced the suspension of work because of the repeated attacks and security breaches that were recently inflicted on the hospital.

On its Facebook page, the hospital clarified that the latest attack was on Saturday, where a patient's relative attacked an anesthesiologist in the intensive care unit and threatened him with a weapon.

Benghazi hospital sent out a distress call last October because of the repeated attacks on the hospital and its employees, and the inability of the security forces to prevent such attacks.
