I’ve arrived at the @unproforbih base in Potočari. I’m with my two children. My husband has joined the other men fleeing through the woods.

My husband has joined us at Potočari. He said he couldn’t bear abandoning me and the kids. Our youngest is 3 months old.

My husband, our child and I are part of the final group to be deported out of @unproforbih’s base in Potočari by Serb forces. We’ll be leaving soon.

I’ve asked the @unproforbih soldiers (through a translator) if my husband will be separated from me. They’ve guaranteed that no one will separate us.

Oh my god. @unproforbih lied to me. Serb soldiers grabbed my husband before he stepped onto the bus. “What about my child?” My husband cried. The soldier replied, “Throw it away if you have nowhere to leave it.”
