Up to now you were used to me not mentioning the war and all the bad things
coming from it. Today I am compelled to tell you, as a woman, and a mother,
what has happened last night in my city.
About 1.00 AM, Neurological ward of one of the major Belgrade hospitals
was hit by NATO bombs. Three patients were killed, many patients and stuff
injured, including one infant. At the time of the bombing 4 deliveries were in
progres. Entire hospital, including the Maternity ward, and large deparment
for Children's Pulmonary Diseases, had to be evacuated in the middle of the
night, and during the air raid. One totally insignificant, small gas station in
the immediate vicinity of TWO hospitals (and my own, about a mile away)
was hit, so that "collateral" damage could be justified. I do not want to
elaborate on this any more. Only that the hospitals are situated in the middle of residential area........."

5/21/1999:
Last night major power stations were bombed, so
there is severe shortage of power in entire country.
By some miracle, I still have it. SO if I'm not
present on the net - that's the reason......

Belgrade, Yugoslavia

I received these Emails from my Online Friend from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and wanted to share them with you.... He is a professor of Pharmocology at one of the Hospital there... These emails saddened me tremendously.... - Editor
