It's a grim scene for the Red Cross in Baghdad:

A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Baghdad said heavy fighting between U.S. and Iraqi forces in the city prevented officials reaching any hospital but Kindi, near the city center.

There, doctors said they had taken in so many casualties that they were running short of anesthetics and some equipment, which the Red Cross helped to replenish by delivering a truckload of supplies.

ICRC Spokesman Roland Huguenin-Benjamin told Reuters: "Surgeons have been working round the clock for the past two days and most are exhausted. Conditions are terrible.

....hospitals were now relying on generators and that getting clean water to patients was a priority. ...."Some hospitals cannot take any more war wounded. They are stretched to the limits," spokeswoman Nada Doumani said.

The wounded were not being turned away, but many hospitals have run out of beds and patients were being treated wherever doctors could find room.

....Water is becoming a worry. There are certain areas of Baghdad which do not have any at all," Doumani said in Geneva. Lack of clean drinking water is a major cause of diarrhea and respiratory diseases, which already take a heavy toll of Iraqi children.

The Red Cross says right now there is only enough water to flush the toilets for one more day. For updates on the situation, go here.
