The bullet and shell holes in the remaining structures bore silent witness to the cruel way in which President Slobodan Milosevics forces punished the civilian population in response to the resistance of the Kosovo Liberation Army or KLA. Kosovo is the scene of a horrendous humanitarian disaster. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimated last week that at least 230.000 persons were displaced within Kosovo as a result of the conflict and a further 170.000 have fled from Kosovo in the past year. That adds up to a total of about 400.000 people who had fled their homes. That number increases on a daily basis as Milosevics forces continue their rampage.
