Rahovec: Bodies of 136 massacred people found in a village near Rahovec

Rahovec, April 3, 1999 (Kosovapress) - In the villages near Rahovec, more massacred people need to be added to the list of 70 victims we reported about two days ago. Today, we learned that in the village of Pastesel, 82 bodies were found, in the village of Burim 38, in the village of kaznik 7 and in the village of Polluzhë 10 Albanian civillians. We received reports that there are victims in other surroinding villages, however, until now we were unable to confirm those reports. It is feared that there is a large number of victims in the village of "Guri i Kuq". All these villages are near Rahovec, except the village of Burim, which is near Malisheva.

The bodies will be buried today and we will publish the list of names in one of our reports later. 

Despite this, the overall conditions in this are are catastrophic. There is a huge need for food and shelter. We appeal to all the international organizations to try everything they can to provide the displaced civillians with food and shelter by any mean, ground or air.
