In March 1999, during the escalating conflict in Kosovo, Sali Morina and his wife faced an unimaginable challenge. As Serbian forces forced Kosovo Albanian families from their homes, the couple had to ensure the safety of their three children, all of whom were living with muscular dystrophy. Unable to walk independently, the children required their parents to physically carry them to safety amidst the chaos and expulsion. This deeply personal story highlights the extraordinary lengths parents will go to protect their children, even in the face of war and disability. The Morina family’s experience underscores the immense suffering inflicted upon civilians during the Kosovo War, particularly those with pre-existing vulnerabilities. Their escape is a testament to familial love and resilience during a dark period in the region’s history.
