The Srebrenica genocide was the killing of more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys in and around the town of Srebrenica, during the Bosnian War.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence, however, this led to the war between major ethnic groups within the land.
In 1993 United Nations declared Srebrenica as a safe area, which should be free from any armed attack.
It was to be protected by UN peacekeeping forces.
Therefore thousands of Bosniak refugees had sought shelter in that region.
Despite this, Srebrenica was besieged by Bosnian Serb forces.
By early 1995, only limited supply convoys were making it through to the enclave.
There was a severe lack of food, medical supplies, and other necessities.
On July 11, 1995, the Bosnian Serb forces launched a brutal assault on Srebrenica, leading to the infamous massacre.
Even minors, including babies, toddlers, children, and teens, were also executed.
