The rebels in Libya say they are now in almost complete control of the capital Tripoli with just a few pockets of resistance from forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi. There's been some fighting, mainly in and around the international airport, but the centre of the city is mostly quiet. Medical workers in Tripoli have spoken of being totally overwhelmed during the battle for the city. One hospital in the Abu Salim area was abandoned while fighting raged around it. The BBC's Wyre Davies visited the hospital and sent this report.
