At best, there will still be some serious problems for awhile, not even to mention next winter: MACEDONIA: KOSOVANS LEAVE FAMILIES FOR CAMPS 4 Jun. 99 – Kosovo refugees are leaving overburdened host families in Macedonia by the thousand and swarming into already crammed refugee camps, UNHCR said yesterday, reports Reuters in Skopje. "In recent days we have seen a steady stream of people coming from host families to refugee camps, saying their hosts can no longer help them," said UNHCR spokesman Ron Redmond. "Unfortunately the camps are at or very near capacity and there is very little space for these new host-family arrivals," he said. About 110,000 ethnic Albanians who fled violence in Kosovo are in refugee camps but more than 150,000 are believed to have taken refuge among their ethnic kin in Macedonia. As weeks go by, host families are finding the burden too heavy to bear and refugees are increasingly seeking shelter at the overcrowded camps, where many hope to catch flights abroad.
