Months of strict Serbian and Croatian blockades have reduced the Muslims in supply-starved central Bosnia to banditry and the looting of food meant for the thousands of other Muslim refugees in besieged Tuzla, 45 miles to the north. Increased harassment at checkpoints has cut aid to the Muslims to a fraction of what Serbs and Croats receive...
Mostar's 16th century Old Bridge, one of the most exquisite examples of Ottoman architecture and a symbol of ethnic harmony in prewar Yugoslavia, was destroyed by Croatian gunners.

Putting together the exhibit, now on view at the United Nations in New York City, was no simple task.
