The situation in Orahovac in U.N.-administered Kosovo-Metohija is worsening - the children are not back at school, the ill and infirm are many and the doctors are few, even for births, and there is little medicine.
After ten days of effort, the Serbs in Orahovac finally on Sunday received relief aid in medical supplies and articles of hygiene.
According to the Centre for Peace and Tolerance in Kosovo-Metohija's city of Pristina, ethnic Albanian terrorists have set up a barricade-like checkpoint at Opterusa, on the Suva Reka-Orahovac road.
Parked at the checkpoint are 24 cars, 25 lorries, 2 buses and 31 tractors laden with timber. There are also 27 tents for the ethnic Albanians, most of whom wear uniforms of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
German troops of the international KFOR force daily supply the ethnic Albanians with food, which is cooked in the Orahovac hotel.
German troops daily deliver also less than 100 loaves of bread for the 3,000 Serbs and 900 Romanies living in Orahovac's Gornja Mahala suburb.
Ethnic Albanians, who control the water factory, run water for the Gornja Mahala settlement for about one hour a day.
Serbs are arrested on murder charges on tip-offs from ethnic Albanians.
No Serbs are allowed to leave Orahovac, so that Red Cross officials from Kosovo Polje have managed to get two men, four girls and a pregnant woman out only after much pleading.
