"Women and men have died"
Dr Khamis al-Saad, general director of Ramadi hospital, told Aljazeera that 11 people, including a woman and children, were killed and another 18 wounded under US fire on Monday.
Ambulances and medical teams were targeted by US snipers in different areas of Ramadi, particularly near hospitals for women and children, al-Saad said.
Two ambulance drivers and members of medical teams on board the vehicles were also killed, he said.
Medical staff and patients inside the hospitals were targeted and a number of them were shot in the head, the general director said.
"Situation in general is unstable and deteriorating so I call on the government and NGOs to intervene as clashes are occurring every day," al-Saad said.
"Our medical institutions are receiving casualties but medical supplies are not enough," he said.
Earlier in the day, US forces launched air strikes on Falluja, killing up to 18 people, including women, children and an ambulance driver.
