GORAZDE LACKS FOOD, SAYS UNHCR SPOKESMAN

ZAGREB, April 6 (Hina) - Humanitarian aid for Gorazde last time was delivered on March 22 and local warehouse of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees have at disposal only one quarter of necessary food, said at news conference on Wednesday UNHCR spokesman in Zagreb Peter Kessler. Situation with food is not yet alarming because local inhabitants have their own house stocks, but situation is getting worse with drugs and medical equipment. Because of that representatives of the International Red Cross are using now their emergency supplies, warned Kessler. Air drops for Gorazde were suspended last month when road convoys reached this Muslim enclave in eastern Bosnia, but that was before latest Serb attacks on the town, said UNHCR spokesman. About 1,000 of refugees from surrounding villages, particularly those south of Gorazde, are accommodated in the town and UNHCR estimates that another 1,500 of them arrived near the city. 061705 MET apr 94
