The Srebrenica Refugee Camp That Never Closed
In 1995, the genocide of Srebrenica took place. But while the massacre itself has not been forgotten, some of its victims have.
Rather unknown is the fact that there still is a Srebrenica refugee camp that has never closed its doors.
Camp Jezevac lies near the Bosnian town of Tuzla, where 400 female relatives and survivors of the genocide still live and find shelter, and say they will never return home.
Most of the women who live in the camp are still traumatized. They look much older than their age, and they live in total poverty.
“We live too close to each other and we have nothing to do, you always see the same people and everybody is depressed. There are a lot of fights", says Dzejna Hasic, an inhabitant of the camp.
They also complain that nobody cares for them anymore, including the Bosnian government.
"Everybody has forgotten us", they say.
Recently, the Bosnian government announced that Camp Jezevac will be closed in 2018, and the women who are still unable to go back to Srebrenica will be moved to social housing in and around Tuzla.
