The convoy was organised by the Croatian Health Ministry and Doctors Without Borders and it was to have been the first convoy from the town which was under Serbian siege at the time. Since one of the trucks in the convoy drove over a mine which wounded two nurses, Doctors Without Borders scrapped plans to organise other convoys with the wounded from Vukovar.
On 18 November 1991, the town's defence was broken and at least 260 wounded, civilians and medical staff were taken from the hospital. On the 20th, 200 were killed at the nearby Ovcara farm and buried in a mass grave. The rest are unaccounted for.
According to its data, the hospital treated 3,470 wounded people during the Serbian aggression in 1991, performing more than 2,500 surgeries.
Today, wreaths were laid at a monument at Ovcara and at Vukovar's memorial cemetery of Homeland War victims.
