One day after British forces claimed control of all of Basra, many new
scenes emerged. At one of Basra's main hospitals, there were many Iraqi
wounded victims of several weeks of intense warfare. Children, and women and
men, lay in hospital beds with many different types of wounds, much from
shrapnel, and bombing and shelling, and many of the victims suffered from
amputations. In the morgue of the hospital, many bodies of Iraqi fighters
lay dead on the floor. Here an elder Iraqi woman is left sitting in a
wheelchair in the hallway of the hospital.
