Sally Becker
Elmir and Lela
Following their evacuation in August 1993, Elmir and Lela were treated at the hospital in Croatia. Elmir had lost a kidney in the blast from the tank shell but the doctors were able to remove most of the shrapnel from his eyes and he could see.
10 months later they returned to Mostar where the family were reunited with their father. It would be many years before Sally would hear from them again but one day she received a message from Lela which read; "I am the baby you rescued from Mostar."
