§ Mr. WareingTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many convoys carrying humanitarian aid to Sarajevo and other towns in Bosnia Herzegovina by road have had as their point of departure(a) Belgrade and (b) Split; what have been the total quantities of supplies transported in each case; how many air-relief flights have delivered such aid; and what has been the quantity transported.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd[holding answer 9 February 1993]: Exact figures for the number of road convoys which have travelled into Bosnia Herzegovina are not available. However, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees who is co-ordinating the international community's response to this crisis estimates that over 57,000 tonnes of relief supplies have been delivered by road to Bosnia Herzegovina since July 1992. This consists approximately of 22,000 tonnes delivered from Split and Zagreb; 3,550 tonnes from Belgrade; and 31,900 tonnes from Metkovic (which is now used as the principal depot for convoys into Bosnia from the south, and which is supplied from Split and Ploce).
In addition a total of 2,646 relief flights have been made, delivering 29,098 tonnes of humanitarian relief; all of these were to Sarajevo.
