Groups such as the Spanish Brigades Against War, human sheilds, doctors and many more continue to file reports from on the ground.

One report from members of the Brigades Against War stated:
The Brigade went to visit a new hospital this morning, the Al Kindi University hospital, a centre specialising in traumatology and orthopaedics in the Palestina neighbourhood. The director, Osama Salah Taha, trained in Cuba, explained to the Brigade in Spanish that an average of 30 wounded people are being admitted to his hospital every day, as a direct result of the previous nights US attacks. One hundred people were admitted from Friday night?s attacks, the worst so far, with US B52 bombers.
