The human hunters of Sarajevo – level 1
05-06-2025 07:00
There is a war in Bosnia in the 1990s. Sarajevo, the capital city, is not safe. People are very scared. They do not walk in the street. Snipers shoot people. Bombs fall on homes. Life is hard in Sarajevo.
A man from the US comes to help. His name is John Jordan. He gives boots and clothes to firefighters. He works in Sarajevo. He wants to help people.
Later, John talks in a court. He says that rich people come to Sarajevo. They give money. They shoot people for fun. We do not know if this story is true. There is no evidence of it. But the story shows that war makes people do very bad things.
Difficult words: sniper (a person who hides and shoots people), court (a place where people talk about crimes), evidence (things or information which show that something happens or is true).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What items does John Jordan provide to the firefighters in Sarajevo?
