MSF said survivors of Wednesday night’s escape reported that at least 15 people were killed and up to 40 people, mostly women, were left behind. It said MSF staff helped treat 25 injured people at Bani Walid General Hospital including seven with severe gunshot wounds and multiple fractures. The organization said it has been working for about a year in the Bani Walid region, where migrants reportedly face widespread kidnapping, torture and extortion. It said the survivors of Wednesday night’s escape, under the supervision of local Bani Walid security forces, were transferred to a security facility in Bani Walid, and on Thursday they were moved again to detention centres in the capital Tripoli. MSF said its medical teams in Tripoli are carrying out medical consultations and 14 severely wounded patients have been referred for hospital care.
