least 80 civilians died and more than 100 others were wounded during the week after African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) troops were attacked by insurgents in Mogadishu. According to reports from the two main surgical referral hospitals in Mogadishu, at least 110 wounded people were admitted in three days. The number of those wounded is suspected to be higher as reports are so far unavailable from other hospitals and clinics in Mogadishu. Others may have been unable to access facilities due to intense fighting. The fighting was triggered by the landing of two aircrafts at Mogadishu airport on 19 and 20 September in defiance of a ban imposed by Al Shabaab two weeks ago on use of the airport. The districts most affected by the fighting were Hodan, Hawl Wadaag, Waaberi and Wadajir where livelihood activities were disrupted as people fled for safety more.http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/EDIS-7JUKWZ?OpenDocument
