The aggression of the NATO forces on Yugoslavia which began on 24 March 1999
is continuing.
     The NATO strikes the capital city, as well as other major towns from
the airspace brutaly and without any respect. In addition to military
objects, apartment buildings, refugee camps, factories, health facilities,
schools, kindergardens, Christian Orthodox sacred places, cultural
monuments, civil airports and even the Headquarters of the Regional
Organization of the Red Cross of Kosovo and Metohija have been hit. The
number of dead and wounded is increasing constantly. Also, great movements
of population from parts of the country, which suffer the most intense
attacks by the NATO forces, have occured.
     Targeted by guided missiles and cluster bombs and other prohibited
military devices by the NATO forces, including those which can produce an
environmental disaster, 11 million inhabitants of Yugoslavia and 750
thousand refugees are exposed to unprecedented genocide at the end of the 20th
century.
     The stocks of food and medicines at Yugoslav Red Cross are
insufficient, and since almost all international humanitarian organizations,
except the International Red Cross, have left the country, the humanitarian
situation is now becoming more difficult.
