BIHAC, Bosnia-Herzegovina — A storm in Bosnia has swept through a bleak makeshift camp for migrants who are trying to reach Western Europe, blowing many tents away. Migrants staying in the Vucjak camp near Bosnia’s border with Croatia were appealing for help on Saturday after spending a sleepless night looking for shelter. “Please help me, I am human, not an animal, give me roof!” pleaded Kamran Han from Pakistan. “You see this place not for humans ... this is a forest, this is an animal place, not for humans.”Numerous international organizations have repeatedly called for the closure of the Vucjak camp, which is located on a former landfill and is near a mine field left over from Bosnia’s 1992-95 war.
