By Roy Mabasa  A 60-year-old Filipino nurse was wounded in the shoulder by an artillery fire outside the Libyan capital of Tripoli, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Sunday. Department of Foreign Affairs (MANILA BULLETIN) In a report, the DFA said the incident happened on Saturday afternoon when an artillery round exploded outside the housing compound where the victim and several other Filipino hospital workers were staying. Quoting reports from the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli, the female nurse is the third Filipino casualty since the outbreak of fighting in Tripoli more than a year ago. Two other Filipinos had been wounded in rocket attacks in other parts of Tripoli at the onset of the fighting. In an earlier advisory, the Embassy urged all Filipinos in areas where exchanges of artillery or heavy weapons or small arms fire are taking place to relocate when able to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. The Embassy had earlier raised its concern over the possibility that Filipinos may end up as collateral damage after several hospitals in Tripoli have been struck by artillery shells from warring factions. To date, there are still more than 1,000 Filipinos in Tripoli and surrounding areas, most of them hospital workers. “The Philippine Embassy in Tripoli has reminded members of the Filipino Community to remain vigilant and to take the necessary precautions after a 60-year-old Filipina nurse was wounded by artillery fire in the outskirts of the Libyan capital late Saturday afternoon,” the DFA said.
