UNHCR looking into ways to help the returning refugees to Macedonia
July 2, 2001
GJILAN (KosovaLive) - A spokeswoman for the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Alessandra Moreli, told KosovaLive
that 70 ethnic Albanian refugees from Macedonia had crossed into Kosova
on Monday through the Hani i Elezit and Globocica crossing points.
The Mother Theresa humanitarian organization claimed that it had
registered 80 new refugees on Monday. "Twenty-one families with 80
members have been registered today," said Sherafedin Kadriu, a Mother
Theresa representative.
Kadriu said that Mother Theresa, in close cooperation with the
Crisis Committee set up by municipal authorities, was distributing food
and clothes donated by the World Food Program, UNHCR and Catholic Relief
Services (CRS). Kadriu added that CRS had given a large amount of food
and clothing for children.
Moreli said that on Sunday UNHCR had registered the repatriation of
around 1,000 refugees who had been staying in the Gjilan region. "Most
of them were from the outskirts of Skopje," she added.
Moreli said that UNHCR was looking into ways to help the returning
refugees, although it was impossible for the time being, given that a
political solution to the crisis had not yet been found in Macedonia.
Moreli said that there were people without documents among the group
that returned to Macedonia. She added that the Macedonian authorities
had not created any problems for the refugees, and that their
cooperation with UNHCR was of a good level. (ms) |
