May 28: #Gaddafi forces attacked #Jadu & #ArRujban last night using cluster bombs. Shelling on Jadu focused on civilian areas.
The reports of using cluster bombs in #Nafusa isn't anything new. #Gaddafi used them in #Nalut & other areas early April.

#Gaddafi troops are hiding in civilian homes in the city of #Arryayna, NE of #Zintan.
#Zintan is surrounded by #Gaddafi troops to the east, blocking the road to besieged #Yefren.
30-40% of families from #Zintan refused to flee to #Tunisia.

20 Grad rockets hit #Jadu today, seriously injuring many civilians & destroyed houses
Hospital in #Jadu & #Zintan running on generators, but not for long due to gas shortage.
#Zintan and #Jadu without electricity for 3 days. #Yefren without electricity for 56 days.
