This baby and elven others died in the Banja Luka hospital, partly because none of the world media mentioned them in their news.

On May 22nd, 1992, the UN accepted Bosnia-Herzegovina into its membership. Air space over Bosnia is to be controlled by Croatia. All Serbian flights are banned, including humanitarian ones.

Bosnian Krayina and its major city, Banja Luka, are cut off from the world. The hospital in Banja Luka is running low on supplies and oxygen. The choice between adult dialysis patients and babies in incubators means that someone will have to die. And while kidney patients willingly face death in agony so that the newly born might have the chance to live, appeals to allow the delivery of emergency aid have to go through long procedure in the UN. A plane with the precious oxygen, waits at the Belgrade airport. The humanitarian organizations wait, only death does not wait. In Banja Luka, one after the other, the lives of 11 infants are extinguished.

U.S. representative in the UN, Madeleine Albright,
voted against helping the babies.

The only baby that survived that day in Banja Luka was Marko Medakovic. Marko is a three years old boy who has serious medical probems. He is diagnosed with PARALYSIS CEREBRALIS.

Marko and his family:
father Ratko, mother Snezana, older brother Ognjen (9yr), and yonger brother Aljosa (2yr).

If you wish to help Marko please let us know.
