Three days later. on July 19. Just last week. USA Today quoted a Bosnian refugee. Zarfa Turkovic. who said she witnessed a brutal gang rape at the U.N. camp in Potocari. where refugees had gathered. She said that four Serb soldiers grabbed a young woman from among the sleeping refugees. "Two took her legs and raised them up in the air." Turkovic said. "while the third began raping her. People were silent. No one moved. She was screaming and yelling. begging them to stop." The rapists stuffed a rag in her mouth and continued raping her. Since the day that Srebrenica fell. the U.N. High Commission for Refugees has been caring for Bosnian refugees fleeing the Serb armies. In Tuzla. UNHCR has been responsible for providing food and shelter to thousands of refugees in the last week and a half. On July 18. the U.N. High Commission for Refugees released a report describing the experiences of a number of refugees. based on interviews with those who arrived in Tuzla. I would like to relate a few of the most disturbing examples. A 60yearold man and his wife described how the bus that was carrying them to Tuzla was stopped by Serb soldiers.
