It was in 1992 that the UN sent a peacekeeping force- the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) to Yugoslavia. The force was sent to the Serb-controlled areas of Croatia.
It was the duty of the UNPROFOR to ensure that the United Nations Protected Areas were free of military action. It was also responsible for the patrolling of borders. However, the conflict worsened; it spread to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The airport at Sarajevo was under threat. Because of this, the UNPROFOR widened the area that it watched over to ensure security. This was followed by days of violent attacks.
Yugoslavia had to survive a string of bombarding. The lives of the people were in great danger. The UN force worked hard to provide them with food and medical supplies.
