Four teenage refugees from Bosnia talk to UPDATE about the hardships of life during wartime, and the experience of escaping to America. The war in the Balkans has caused grievous suffering for millions of people. Since the war began two years ago, more than 200,000 people have been killed, while another 2 million have been driven from their homes. As in most wars, young people suffered their share, even though they didn't start the war and are too young to fight in it. A recent Harvard study estimates that 30,000 children have been killed. Tens of thousands more have been orphaned. And nearly 25 percent of all the refugees created by the war are between the ages of 10 and 17.
