In July 1995, more than 8,000 Muslim men and young boys were brutally killed during the Bosnian war in Srebrenica, a “safe-area” under protection by the United Nations.
Bosnia and Herzegovina was the first country IRUSA raised funds for. In response to the massacre, we provided vital emergency assistance including food aid, clean water, and even adequate clothing. In the aftermath, we worked to help rebuild the community and repair damaged homes, schools, and places of worship.
More than two decades after the war, the people and economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina are still suffering. To this day, bodies continue to be excavated and re-buried, giving some families an opportunity to perform a proper funeral prayer.
