Somalia: Kismayo's only hospital closes as aid workers killed
Services at the only hospital in Somalia's coastal city of Kismayo, 500km south of the capital Mogadishu, stopped on 29 January, a day after four people - including two foreign aid workers - were killed in a blast, local sources told IRIN.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF-Holland) took over running the hospital in September 2007, after it had been abandoned by MSF-Belgium in 2001 due to insecurity.
Thousands of demonstrators also took to Kismayo streets to protest at the killing of the two MSF-Holland staff, their driver and a local journalist.
