ICRC SECURES HOT MEALS FOR 3,000 PEOPLE IN BIHAC POCKET

ZAGREB, March 2 (Hina) - The International Committee of the Red Cross has secured daily hot meals for three thousand people in the Bihac pocket, an ICRC statement released in Zagreb said today. The meals are to be prepared by a hotel kitchen and delivered every morning to distribution points, the ICRC spokeswoman in Bihac, Suzanne Fiscbach, said. Since January the ICRC has secured weekly convoys for Bihac and Velika Kladusa to deliver food, medicines, water and sanitation supplies. Meanwhile, a UNHCR convoy with 115 tonnes of humanitarian aid for Bihac was waiting at the Croatia-Bosnia border for clearance from renegade Moslem forces which had held it up. And an empty UNHCR convoy which, had been caught in a crossfire two days ago between rebel Moslem troops and the Bosnian Moslem-led government army, was still waiting at UNPROFOR headquarters in Coralici to sort out its return to Zagreb.
