Contents Summary
An interview with a C-130 pilot who is about to take passengers to Sarajevo is featured. A UNHCR field officer provides information on the frequency of UNHCR flights into Sarajevo, how much food has been distributed to residents of the city, the vital importance of the airlift, and the need to open land supply routes as well. Sadako Ogata and a delegation arrived in Sarajevo, greeted by Gen. Mackenzie. The footage includes a meeting in the UNHCR office, Ogata's departure from Sarajevo, destruction of the residential areas near Sarajevo airport, and UN soldiers at Sarajevo airport. Captain Douglas Martin, PR Officer for the Canadian Battalion, discusses some of the problems (i.e. sniper, mortar, and artillery fire) that his soldiers face during a mission in Bosnia. A press statement by Sadako Ogata is featured.
