Syria unrest: Red Cross urges access to Baba Amr, Homs

Demonstrations against President Assad are continuing across Syria

The Red Cross says it will try again to be allowed access to the devastated Baba Amr district of the Syrian city of Homs, after being blocked on Friday.

It said it was "unacceptable" that its seven-lorry convoy had been stopped.
There have been reports of revenge killings and summary executions by Syrian forces since rebel fighters pulled out of Baba Amr on Thursday.
The UN secretary-general said Syria had committed clear and widespread crimes against the civilian population.
'Street by street' The Red Cross convoy spent the night in Homs after being blocked from entering Baba Amr, despite having been given earlier permission from the government.
Jakob Kellenberger, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said: "It is unacceptable that people who have been in need of emergency assistance for weeks have still not received any help."
The Red Cross said there was no explanation for the change of heart by the Syrian authorities.
