ICRC DELIVERS MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO CROAT ENCLAVE IN N.E. BOSNIA

ZAGREB, May 19 (Hina) - The International Committee of the Red Cross on Thursday delivered emergency medical supplies to the Croat enclave of Orasje in northeastern Bosnia, where a large number of people had been wounded during recent military activities. "ICRC delegates managed to take the surgical supplies, enough to treat 300 war-wounded, on board a ferry across the Sava River. Shelling had prevented the team from entering Orasje the previous day," the ICRC said in a statement today. It said around 40,000 people, including a large displaced population, lived in the Orasje area. ICRC delegates were assessing immediate needs of the local population. (hina) vm 191253 MET may 95
