RED CROSS CONVOY ARRIVES IN ZENICA, CENTRAL BOSNIA

ZAGREB, Feb 1 (Hina) - A 10-truck Red Cross convoy reached Zenica on Tuesday, said a statement issued by the International Committee of the Red Cross. The convoy, which is the first ICRC relief convoy to reach the cut-off town of Zenica from Zagreb since 20 December, delivered 186 tonnes of relief supplies including 4,200 litres of fuel and 600 litres of kerosene, food, blankets and medical supplies, said the statement. The convoy was able to transit through Bosnian Serb-controlled territories following an agreement reached in Pale on 27 January 1994. Under this agreement, the ICRC will be able to sent regular convoys to Zenica and other areas, in conformity with the usual ICRC criteria including needs assessment and strict monitoring of the assistance which is distributed completely impartially to all victims of the conflict, said the statement. A second ten-truck convoy is planned to arrive in Zenica on Thursday. 012022 MET feb 94
