  • Story Text: Refugees continued to stream from the northwest Bosnian town of Kupres on Sunday (November 6) following the Moslem-led government army's capture of the town four days earlier.

    Thousands of Serb refugees have left the region, heading to safer places, using trucks, tractors and other vehicles and carrying only small packages with them.

    Sipovo, a small town about 40 kilometres north-east of Kupres, has become a temporary home for more than 3,000 refugees, mainly older people and women with children. They were being given immediate care, but food and medical supplies were expected to run out within days.
