Abandoned children struggle in ruined Sarajevo orphanage
In a four story Sarajevo building damaged by shelling, about 70 orphans and abandoned children endure a grim life. Electricity, water, and heat are scarce as UN aid sustains residents. Many were abandoned due to parental inability to care, while Bosnian law blocks foreign adoption. Children share rooms and wait for limited activities as staff describe daily hardship.
