Syria crisis: Red Cross resumes Homs evacuation bid

Video footage posted on the internet appears to show continuing attacks in Homs

The Red Cross says it is resuming its attempts to rescue more Syrians trapped by shelling in the city of Homs.

On Friday it evacuated several people for the first time since the army began bombarding areas of Homs last month.
Two foreign journalists are among the wounded but it is not clear if they are among those being brought out.
Meanwhile, international pressure is mounting on President Bashar al-Assad to end his government's 11-month crackdown on opponents.
On Friday, following long negotiations, three Syrian Arab Red Crescent ambulances drove into the suburb of Baba Amr which has borne the brunt of the government attack.
They brought out 20 women and children as well as seven people who were sick or wounded.
The wounded were transferred to a hospital in Homs, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement.
"The ICRC will continue its discussions and negotiations with the Syrian authorities and members of the opposition so we are able to pursue these rounds of evacuations," the statement continued.
"The idea is to be able to evacuate all those wounded and sick, those who are in a desperate situation to reach medical facilities for urgent medical treatment."
