Medical staff carry a wounded woman on a stretcher at Madina Hospital in Mogadishu on August 16, 2020, following a gun and bomb attack by Al-Shabaab fighters on an upscale beachfront hotel in Somalia's capital.
Jihadist group Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for a hours-long siege that occurred Sunday evening at Elite Hotel, a beachside facility located along Mogadishu’s popular Lido beach.
The death toll is feared to be close to 20 with over 30 wounded persons.
