from MSNBC online:
Refugees leave Macedonia: About 150 reluctant Kosovo Albanian refugees were taken to a refugee camp in southeast Albania from camps in Macedonia overnight. The group left Macedonia in three buses on Monday as the first group in a planned relocation of several thousand refugees from Macedonia to Albania.
And nearly 4,000 refugees on Monday fled Kosovo for Albania, U.N. officials said. They were severely traumatized and had been on the move within Kosovo for 4-6 weeks, the officials said.
Report on atrocities: Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Monday
offered evidence of war crimes in Kosovo, including rape, execution and ethnic cleansing, and said the full extent of "evil" could be far worse.
"Horrific patterns of war crimes and crimes against humanity are emerging in Kosovo: systematic executions, organized rape and a well-planned program of terror and expulsion," Albright said at a briefing to release a new U.S. report on such crimes.

Our volunteers leave in a week. We have only a few hundred dollars with which they can cross the Greek border and buy the oil and flour that's been requested by ERA Television (our contact in Skopje). PLEASE consider donating something, ANY amount toward filling a pickup truck with badly needed food. The situation in Macedonia is growing worse daily. Whether or not it is fully reflected on the news, it is unspeakable. These people are no longer welcome in Macedonia. They are no longer having to sleep on the mud, but they have a thousand unmet needs. Ten dollars can make a difference.
