Attack on UN Safe Haven

During the Genocide there were three towns one of which was called Srebrenica. All three towns including Srebrenica were UN safe havens. That wasn't going to stop the Serbs though. Unfortunatly the serbian forces decided to attack the safe haven on July 11, 1995. The Serbian forces had overwelmed a battalion of Dutch UN soldeirs. Thus placing Srebrenica under Serbian controlle. After they gaind controlle the Serbs seperated all the civilians with in the town. They had put girls and women on buses and had them shiped to Bosnian territory. Sadly some women and girls were raped and or sexualy assulted. As for the men and boys, they were all executed. They were killed either on the spot or sent to different sites for mass killings. There was an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 people killed that were at Srebrenica.
