From a Reuters report:

SNIP
Residents in the city said a U.S. air strike had destroyed a clinic that had been receiving casualties after U.S. and Iraqi forces seized the main hospital on Monday night.

Some medical staff and patients had been killed at the one-story Popular Clinic in a central district, they added.

Sami al-Jumaili, a doctor at the main Falluja hospital who escaped arrest when it was taken, said the city was running out of medical supplies and only a few clinics remained open.

"There is not a single surgeon in Falluja. We had one ambulance hit by U.S. fire and a doctor wounded. There are scores of injured civilians in their homes whom we can't move.
"A 13-year-old child just died in my hands," he said by telephone from a house where he had gone to help the wounded.

Doctors said at least 15 civilians had been killed in Monday's fighting. There was no word on U.S. casualties.

Other reports describe as whole quarters of the city in flames, and hundreds of houses destroyed by shells and bombs.
