Fear Famine and Disease All communications, water and power supplies were cut off by the quake. Authorities rushed in food and pure water to try to avert the threat of pestilence and famine. Wandering among the troops were weeping children and adults searching for their families in the ruins or in crowded hospitals. One of the first eye witness reports of the nightmare disaster came from Guy Miaille, a French tourist, who returned to Belgrade Friday night with his wife. "We were camping by our car in Skopje Park, and at about 5 a.m., we drove towards the center of the sleeping city,” Miaille said.“ Coming into the town I was looking at the army club on the right-hand side of the road. In front of us lay a great old bridge. “At that moment, the earth trembled. The force was terrific. The army club and other buildings began to fall like houses of cards. Huge stones flew about like cannonballs. The car was taking a terrible beating. We leaped for safety. “In front of us had been an empty square. Now it was jammed with screaming, panic-stricken people. Many of them wore nothing but, nightshirts or pajamas.
