Work report:
Delivery of firewood
(10th of december 2007)

We visit the camp of internally displaced Roma from Kosovo in the center of Novi Pazar. A local dealer brought a truck with firewood as we had agreed before. The Roma are happy about the firewood, but they ask for food. They say they are hungry most of the time, that garbage containers are their only source of food.

We visit Mico and Biljana in their home in the Gazella settlement.

THE ROMAS AT BATNJIK SETTLEMENT

In the beginning of January 2006 the local Red Cross in Novi Pazar and UNHCR:s field officer for the area informed us that the people at Batnjik had moved.
