Emergency aid from the air asked for the civilian population in Kosova

Drenica, March 27, 1999(Kosovapress) The population all over the Kosova
territory is faced up with a catastrophic situation as a result of the
Serb attacks with all military means and weapons and of the ethnic
cleansing perpetrated by the Belgrade fascist army. All over the territory
of Kosova population displacements are taking place. This situation is
further aggravated knowing that in the midst of the displaced Albanian
civilian population are old people, pregnant women, children, and sick and
disabled people. Health wise the situation is very serious, as there are
no drugs and medication available. As if all this were not enough, the
masses of the displaced people lack the essential food. It is the children
who are suffering the most for they have been without any food for several
days. It is for this reason that we are appealing to all world
humanitarian organizations to all European and other governments, in
particular to that of the United States, to extend their friendly hand to
the massacred and suffering people of Kosova, by sending emergency aid
from the air because this is an extremely alarming and emergent situation.

At least 200 bodies brought to Prishtina morgue today.

Prishtine, March 27, 1999 (Kosovapress) An eywitness from the "Kodra e
Diellit" neighbourhood of Prishtina (adjacent to the city hospital)
claimed that he saw at least 200 bodies that were brought to the morgue of
the Prishtina Hospital."They were being dropped like sandbags from the
trucks" he said referring to the bodies. The situation is very chaotic in
the city of Prishtina as well. Serb paramilitary groups are massacring,
torturing all the Albanian citizens in Prishtina. For security reasons,
the eywitness that provided this report did not wnt his name to be
published.

20.000 thousand displaced people:their conditions are catastrophic.

Drenica, March 28 (Kosovapress) As result of serbian attacks, there are
thousands of people being displaced in the triangle
Klina-Skenderaj-Gllogoc.They are staying in the valleys of the
streams.Only in Vucak, there are more 20.000 escaped people.Their
conditions are catastrophic, without food and nothing to wear. There is a
fear that these people will be caught by serbians, as was the case with
the people of Qirez.

Serbian chetnics are destroying everything in the villages of Llap

Llap, March 28 (Kosovapress) Yesterday,all the houses which lies from
Podjevo to Majace, close the border with serbian military terrorists, are
being burnt. Also, villages nearby crossroad to Kerpimeh are burnt, too.
Units of KLA of the O.Z. of Llap, are taking care about civilian
population, but yet, the situation is very difficult because they have to
face also cold and rain. There are 12.000-13.000 serbian chetnics who have
come from serbia to kill and destroy everything that belongs to the
albanians.
