One hundred more Kosovar refugees have just arrived from the border post at Blace. The frontier is just a 15-minute drive from Stenkovec, but the refugees have been waiting at the border post for hours. Waiting for transport, waiting for permission to go to the camp, waiting for food and water. A huge crowd gathers around the bus as it slowly pulls to a halt. Refugees who've been in the camp for days are desperate for news of family, friends, and neighbors left behind when they fled Kosovo.
French troops form a cordon around the door of the bus, giving the new arrivals room to get off.
An on-board assessment by medical aid workers has identified the sick, the very old, and the very young. A number of buses in recent weeks have carried babies born during the exodus from Kosovo. Some of the elderly are too frail to walk without help. Recent arrivals include people who've undergone major surgery. A child with spina bifida had an operation a few days ago.
