Red cross rescues people in Homs where bombarding is occurring


  
The Red Cross says they are  resuming their attempts to rescue more Syrians trapped by shelling in the city of Homs.

On Friday they evacuated several people for the first time since the army began bombarding areas of the city Homs. On the same day three Syrian Arab Red Crescent ambulances drove into the suburb of Baba Amr which has carried the worst part of the government attack.They brought out 20 women and children as well as seven people who were sick or wounded.

The people who were wounded were transferred to a hospital in Homs, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).The injured and dying are treated in temporary clinics with limited supplies.

Thousands of people are trapped in residential areas which government forces have subjected to days of heavy bombardment.
