Fuel pump gone?

Hi guys,

I have a 99' Fiesta that I use for as a run around. The car had worked fine prior to going on holiday for three weeks, I got back yesterday and went to use the car, it started fine. I realised there was hardly any petrol in it so drove to the nearest station, about 10 miles away. I got near the station and went up a small hill to park as I needed something from a nearby shop. I went back to the car, the engine turns over but will not start, I thought it could be the fuel level so put some in with the tank I had in the boot and no joy. I left it for a while and it nearly started but just spluttered for around 10 seconds and died again.

Does it appear the pump has died?

Cheers
 
It's on level ground now and still the same.

I don't let it run low often, all seems a strange coincidence that I haven't used it for a while.
