An employee looks for medicine at a hospital pharmacy in Abidjan April 8, 2011. Days of clashes between forces loyal to presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara and incumbent Laurent Gbagbo, who refuses to cede power, have turned what was once known as the "Paris of Africa" into a ghost city. Aid agencies say hospitals are overwhelmed with wounded, medical supplies are lacking and doctors and nurses sometimes have to work without running water and electricity.
