Terrified young boys committed to a mental institution in central Bosnia have been abandoned by the nursing staff when the asylum came under intense Serbian shelling. They rock wildly to and fro screaming with terror with every shell impact to the building. The Children were left to fend for themselves without food or clothing, or any means of sanitation, for a week. The combination of teeth juddering exploding shells, high-pitched screams and the stench of defecation, urination, fear induced vomit from the children was one of the more upsetting situations that I have been in. If one is familiar with the Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch’s work and his interpretation of hell, you are not far off the mark.
