Many residents have complained that their water has been cut off since the capital fell to rebels, while rumours are rife that Gaddafi has poisoned the water in the city of around two million. The morgue at Tripoli's main hospital also has no water, an AFP correspondent said, with workers there struggling to clean up the blood from those killed in days of fighting in the capital.A worker at the morgue told AFP Gaddafi had cut off the water supply from desert ground water at Jebel Hasuna, around 700 km to the south of Tripoli, through the so-called Great Manmade River Project. An engineer at the Corinthia Hotel, where many foreign journalists are staying since the capital fell, said that "Tripoli has no water". "We have a reservoir; it's very big but we don't know how long it will last. Hopefully until they decide to open the supply again," he said, asking not to be named.

Many Arabs will see this as an escalation of the Western Crusade.
Many Arabs would be right in that observation.
