Update on Cities in Transition

The CIties in Transition Webpage is filled with up to the minute news about the cities that participated in the Inaugeral Forum this year. When I was checking it out today I came across a video about lead poisoning in the Roma Refugee Camp outside Mitrovica. The camp is located in a toxic field saturated with runoff waste from the Mines. It was opened in 1999 to "temporarily" house Roma refugees after the Kosovo War. Eleven years later, all of the children are living in dire poverty, and are suffering from lead poisoning. The United Nations and World Health Organization are aware of the situation, however no solution to this serious problem has been developed.
