Civilians and U.N. peacekeepers in Sarajevo came under fire Thursday in renewed sniper attacks by Serbian forces.
A number of people were wounded in the attack on the town centre. U-N soldiers were fired upon as they drove the injured to hospital.
Its the latest in a week-long spate of sniper attacks on the city which have left up to a dozen injured.
This area of the city centre is known as "Sniper Alley" and for good reason.
People are always wary crossing here, but Thursday's gunfire made it more dangerous than usual.
Civilians have to cross the street to get to the markets on the other side.
For some the experience of living constantly under fire is desperate. This woman swore at photographers.
No one is safe from the snipers, not even children.
For the old the danger is more acute, and this frail woman was forced to break into a run.
Still the U-N troops go about their daily duty which is to protect the citizens of Sarajevo as best as they can from the sniper fire, using their armoured vehicles as shields.
But several soldiers here have also died or been wounded.
This is what passes for life in Sarajevo ... with no let up in sniper attacks ... and with food becoming scarce ... people are becoming increasingly disillusioned.
