Malta has received many medical casualties of the Libyan war.

But despite assistance from Qatar, the island country's 800-bed general hospital cannot keep up with the soaring numbers of injured fighters.

Malta is now calling on the US and the rest of the international community to send a hospital ship to meet the soaring medical needs.
