HC Deb 14 July 1993 vol 228 c498W
Mr. Meacher

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has for further humanitarian relief to Sarajevo to address the severe shortage and possible disappearance of water supplies to the city.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees continues to make every effort to secure the passage of humanitarian supplies into Sarajevo, including fuel, in order to operate the pumps which are essential for the local water supply system.

We are playing a major part in both the road-based relief convoys into Sarajevo and the airlift. But the continuing hostilities are inhibiting the passage of humanitarian supplies and we urge all of the parties to the conflict to allow these supplies to pass without hindrance or delay.

Forward to
