== Volunteering in Bosnia ==
Moved by the images of suffering coming out of Bosnia, Becker set off to the war-torn region of Bosnia-Herzegovina determined to try to help. Based on the outskirts of Mostar, a city where Croats and Muslims were fighting for control, Becker began by delivering aid to the west side of the city and soon became a familiar sight as she drove in and out of the city in an old Renault 4. As one of the few foreign aid workers able to travel freely in the area, she was asked by a UN officer to try and gain access to the east side of the city where 50,000 Bosnian Muslims were trapped. With permission from the Croatian Ministry of Defence she crossed the front line under fire to evacuate wounded children and their families from the besieged hospital. The mission was successful and she became known as the Angel of Mostar. In December 1993 she led a convoy of 50 vehicles and 200 volunteers from Britain to deliver aid and evacuate the wounded from all sides.
In Feb 1994, all aid convoys were grounded due to snow. There were many wounded children trapped in the monastery at Nova Bila in central Bosnia. Becker managed to reach the area by helicopter and evacuated 55 wounded children and their families.
