:The two aid workers on the border are both Albanians working for Catholic Relief Services (CRS). They are handing out boxes of biscuits, each containing 20 packets, to the refugees, many of whom had not eaten since fleeing their homes. They also have two barrels of water.
:Standing 50 feet from the aid workers, two Italian Jehovah�s Witnesses were offering the latest arrivals spiritual solace. They were handing out fliers in Albanian saying "We have to learn how to love each other" and posing the question "Does everybody understand this?" The words were set over a picture of the smiling faces of young people of every ethnic and racial background, all apparently living in some sort of tropical harmony,complete with palm trees.
:The Jehovah�s Witnesses, who were dressed in two-piece suits and sparkling white over-coats, had not come to Kukes to proselytize, but to meet their co-religionists from the Kosovo towns of Djakovica and Pristina whom they hoped to find among the refugees. They decided that since they were there, they should make the most of the situation and distribute the fliers.
Notice the part where it says: Catholic Relief Services (CRS), they
are handing out food.

Hmm.
