An Israeli army field hospital operating in Macedonia postponed its return to Israel from Monday to Thursday. Staffers at the hospital, which was set up in the Brazde refugee camp on April 6 to provide medical services for ethnic Albanians fleeing Kosovo, said they want to remain at the site until replacement teams arrived from other countries. In a related development, Israeli officials are organizing activities for young refugees at the Brazde refugee camp. The officials plan to offer movie screenings and deliver toys for children at the camp.
