WHO WARN ON HUMANITARIAN SITUATION IN BOSNIA

ZAGREB, Dec. 1 (Hina) - Complete break out of all humanitarian efforts in Bosnia-Herzegovina may take place very soon because of difficulties in delivering fuel to that area, warned the World Health Organization (WHO) representatives at press briefing in Zagreb on Wednesday. "Fuel provides heating for hospitals, and without it is impossible to assure any kind of medical aid to patients. That is why we are appealing for immediate free delivery of this essential component of humanitarian aid", said a special WHO's envoy in Zagreb Hannu V. Vuori. All three sides involved in the conflict in Bosnia think that fuel, especially oil, can be used for other purposes, not only for humanitarian, emphasized WHO representatives. That is the basic reason for difficulties in getting permissions for delivering fuel necessary to electricity generators and machines in hospitals and other institutions. "For example, hospitals in the Zenica region need 7,000 tons of oil weekly", said WHO representative from Zenica Lars Eric Frische. According to his words, total quantity of power-supplies for Bosnia is still not appraised. The WHO is appealing to all the sides to show their political will for solving this essential problem. They warn on another winter that is threatening Bosnian civilians and this one "is going to be much worse than the previous". 011320 MET dec 93
