Siege of Sarajevo

• 
  Bitter cold winter of 1992–1993, at the height of the siege.
• 
  Running from the cover of a destroyed building, its shattered glass a frozen wave of glittering shards at its base.
• 
  One man gathers branches for firewood, another cradles precious loaves.
• 
  Fetching water as a light snow falls.
• 
  Children in the Baščaršija (old town) district delight in a fresh fall of show, in contrast to the anxiety visible on the faces of the adults walking behind.
• 
  Children pose with their dog outside their home in the Baščaršija (old town) district.
• 
  Children play with a wrecked car in the Baščaršija (old town) district.
• 
  UNPROFOR armoured personnel carrier passes the Presidency building.
• 
  Partially shielded from snipers by stacked shipping containers (left), pedestrians and a solitary car hurry across the lethal Skenderija junction on Maršala Tita (Marshal Tito Street), which becomes Vojvode Putnika, or ‘Sniper Alley’, the road to the airport. At far right, Ðure Ðakovića soon climbs uphill, making it an easy target above the containers.
• 
  Internationally renowned feature film director and screenwriter Mehmed Fehimović passes a concrete sniper screen whose Pink Floyd graffito reminds him of their "All in all, you're just another brick in the wall."
• 
  From downtown, Mehmed Fehimović slowly makes his way up steep, dangerous streets to his home in the Breka district, which is in the northern sector of Novo Sarajevo. The attempt at camouflaging the van appears to have been unsuccessful.
• 
  Mother and child walk a sniped street.
• 
  Garbage, too dangerous to collect and anyway impossible to dispose of, accumulates and rots in the streets – this pile is in Kralja Tomislava, a dangerous north-south street parallel to Ðure Ðakovića. Eventually UNPROFOR alleviated the problem.
• 
  Crossing the Miljacka River in Sarajevo's Baščaršija (old town) district.
• 
  Residents of Baščaršija wait to receive rations from a UNHCR humanitarian aid delivery, their first in 40 days: 1 K-ration meal per person, 1 kilo each of powdered milk, rice and flour, ½ kilo each of sugar, 2 200g cans of fish and meat, half a litre of rapeseed oil, 200g of detergent. Interval to next delivery: unknown.
• 
  Urbicide: one of 35,000 buildings destroyed by shells from Serb positions in the surrounding hills. By the end of 1993 most of the city's buildings had been hit.
• 
  Plastic sheeting trucked in by the UNHCR covers blown-out windows.
• 
  Typical street scene: garbage, shot-up cars, buildings pockmarked by bullets.
• 
  Gun holster makes an ironic fashion statement in an erstwhile shoe shop window.
• 
  Bosnian deputy prime minister Hakija Turajlić was murdered in an UNPROFOR armoured personnel carrier at a Serb roadblock on January 8, 1993. Photo shows Dutch journalist Robert Dulmers beside Turajlić's grave at the little Ali Pasha mosque located in central Sarajevo.
• 
  Crashed car, bullet holes in driver's door. Engine has been salvaged.
• 
  The Post Office on Obana Kulina, gutted by Serb incendiary shells.
