The physical and environmental damage throughout Yugoslavia is enormous. One hundred and forty-seven health care institutions were demolished or damaged along with their equipment, medicines and medical supplies. You can imagine the damage done to people whose operations were interrupted, and medical equipment halted when power plants were bombed. More than 480 schools, university faculties, and facilities for students and children were damaged or destroyed, as well as more than 50 pre-school facilities. The infrastructure of Yugoslavia has been destroyed.
Transportation is very difficult because of the many bridges and roads which have been destroyed.
Oil refineries, automobile plants and chemical plants have been destroyed. The most serious strike was the bombing of the chemical plant at Pancevo. It released tons of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, such as PCBs and vinyl chloride monomers. Yugoslav scientists have determined that the strike against the refinery was not accidental, because of the very precise initial bombing which disabled the entire petrochemical complex. A very large part of the catastrophe created by the bombing of Serbia is the fact that it greatly increased the number of refugees, Albanian, Serbian and other nationalities as well.
