Snow traps thousands in Bosnian villages
February 05, 2012 10:35PM
BOSNIAN authorities today used helicopters to evacuate sick people and deliver
food to thousands of people who have been cut off by the heaviest snow the
country has ever recorded.
More than 100 remote villages are cut off by snow over two metres high in the
mountains. More than a metre has fallen in the capital Sarajevo.
Three helicopters cruised over eastern Bosnia today, delivering food and
picking people who needed evacuation.
Sarajevo has been paralysed since Friday night and authorities have ordered all
schools closed. Residents have volunteered to remove snow and ice from the
trams that are stuck along the city's tracks.
Bosnia's government declared a state of emergency in the capital yesterday
after a week-long cold snap.
Transport hubs in central and eastern Europe have been forced to close amid the
biggest freeze in decades, which has claimed up to 260 lives.

Ukraine has suffered the heaviest toll with 122 deaths, including many who
froze to death in the streets as temperatures plunged to as low as -38.1C.
