Yugoslav Children Fleeing to Israel
Seventy-four Jewish children fleeing war in the former Yugoslav republics will be flown to Israel today, the Jewish Agency said.
The children are to arrive from Hungary, where they traveled by bus. Some will be accompanied by their parents, agency spokesman Yehuda Weinraub said Thursday.

Balkan City--Because of incorrect information from the Associated Press, the location of the city of Subotica was misstated in a story in Thursday’s Times about Yugoslav children fleeing to Israel. The city is in Serbia.
Most of the children are from Bosnia-Herzegovina’s capital of Sarajevo, Serbia’s capital of Belgrade and the Croatian city of Subotica.
The agency, which handles immigration to Israel, said it would be the largest group of Yugoslav refugees to come to Israel since fighting broke out nearly a year ago.
