Srebrenica - Episode 1: Entering the Enclave

Episode 1: Entering the enclave↲The Muslim population trapped inside Srebrenica is living under constant shelling since the start of the war in Bosnia in 1992. Even after the UN declared the city a ‘safe area’ in March 1993, not much had changed.↲The joint French/Belgian MSF unit entered Srebrenica with UNPROFOR leader General Morillon in March 1993. They were the first NGO allowed inside the enclave.There, they witnessed the French General vowing to protect the enclave’s population. The MSF team focused on providing medical care, securing the water supply and sanitation, and preparing the enclave for the upcoming winter.↲However, they’re starting to question how much protection the UN peacekeepers in the enclave can actually provide.↲Produced and mixed by Andrea Rangecroft.↲Editorial direction: Nancy Barrett, Martin Saulnier and Sandy McKee↲Narrator: Nick Owen↲The extracts read by Daniella Bellos Stagg and Matthew Wade↲Music: Lost Harmonies and by Peter Sandberg↲Image: © René Caravielhe ↲A special thanks to Dr Georges Dallemagne and Dr Rony Brauman.↲The MSF Speaking Out: Srebrenica podcast is based on an original MSF case study called ‘MSF and Srebrenica 1993-2003’, written by Laurence Binet.
