KOSOVO: FIRED AT, GROUP DROPS LEAFLETS 3
Jun. 99 – The International Rescue Committee (IRC)
air-dropped 5,000 pamphlets over mountainous parts of
Kosovo yesterday advising refugees on the ground to seek
cover when food rations are dropped early today, reports
Reuters. The mercy flight encountered anti-aircraft fire that
detonated about 2,000 feet below it as it passed over
Kosovo. IRC said the plane was not hit and that its first drop
of humanitarian daily rations would go forward as scheduled
today. The Financial Times reports one of the riskiest
missions to bring humanitarian aid to refugees will be
launched from the Italian city of Pescara today when cargo
aircraft attempt to drop food to thousands of people starving
in mountain hideouts inside Kosovo. [IRC air-drops
