Food Aid to Bosnia
The Times’ Jan. 28 editorial, “The Atrocity of the Food Weapon,” by quoting only December deliveries to Bosnia, is a distortion.
The joint commission for delivery of humanitarian aid has stated that aid convoys passed unhindered through the Croatian Defense Council-controlled territory for the period Oct. 17-Dec. 13, as follows: 244 aid convoys with 14 tons total; 134 convoys, 8.5 tons, Muslims; 98 convoys, 4 tons, Croat; 12 convoys, 1.5 tons, Serb.
How can you call Croats “genocidal” when they have fed and sheltered nearly 300,000 Bosnian Muslims in Croatia for nearly two years? the U.S. Bosnian aid effort pales in equivalency.
