U.S. to receive first Yugo refugees on Friday

April 7, 1999
Web posted at: 12:48 p.m. EDT (1648 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Providing food, clothing, medicine and shelter for hundreds of thousands of Kosovo refugees -- and doing it quickly -- is a process that involves as much planning as a military mission.

Both the Pentagon and private U.S.-based relief agencies are coordinating aid shipments to Europe.

Meantime, in a related operation -- one that involves transporting people, not cargo -- the U.S. government is preparing for the arrival of up to 20,000 refugees at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The first are expected to arrive at the outpost, a former Cold War hot spot, on Friday.
