Минометен обстрел срещу Стария град в Хомс тази сутрин наруши примирието, целящо да позволи евакуацията на цивилни граждани и достъпа на хуманитарна помощ до жителите на обсадените централни квартали на града, съобщават сирийски активисти. Няма информация за пострадали при инцидента, за който взаимни обвинения си отправят и двете страни в конфликта. Държавната агенция САНА цитира губернатора на Хомс, според който "въоръжени терористични групи са нарушили примирието в Стария град, изстрелвайки минометни снаряди срещу сградата на полицията". Сирийският център за наблюдение на човешките права от своя страна цитира активисти в Хомс, които обвиняват силите на режима за обстрела. Конвой на ООН с храни и медикаменти е в готовност да влезе в града и да достави първата пратка помощи за населението от средата на 2012-а година досега. Вчера от централните райони на Хомс бяха евакуирани 83-ма цивилни, много от които с явни признаци на недохранване след прекараните година и половина под обсада.

65 civilians evacuated from Syria's Homs after rebel fire "Sixty-five civilians, all children, women and elderly men, were evacuated from the Old City of Homs, in compliance with an agreement between the UN and the governor of Homs," said the official news agency SANA. State television said the operation took place under fire from "armed terrorist groups," using the regime's term for rebels. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and activists said fire hit the rebel-held, besieged district of Qarabis in Homs, where dozens of civilians were gathered for evacuation by the UN. "Dozens of civilians were evacuated," said the Britain-based Observatory, adding that fire from unknown sources hit parts of the Qarabis neighbourhood. Activists said a gathering point for civilians was hit by mortar rounds launched from pro-regime districts bordering the besieged neighbourhoods where civilians have been trapped for more than 600 days. Sunday's evacuation was the second in three days, since a UN-brokered truce for army-besieged districts of Homs was to have come into effect on Friday. But on Saturday, shelling and gunfire hit a Syrian Red Crescent aid convoy, killing five residents of the rebel-held neighbourhoods and wounding 20 others. Syrian gunmen open fire on escort transporting women, children and elderly people from Homs 40 civilians were evacuated today from the old quarters of Homs. Unknown gunmen once again opened fire at the escort, which transported women, children and the elderly people out of the city, Al-Mayadin TV channel reports. Red Crescent brings first batch of aid to besieged Homs despite mortar fire The Syrian Red Crescent Saturday delivered a first batch of much-needed aid to civilians trapped for nearly two years in rebel-held areas of Homs city, despite coming under fire from mortars. The long-delayed humanitarian mission was in its second day after the evacuation on Friday of 83 children, women and elderly people who have survived more than 600 days under a choking army blockade. The evacuation and aid delivery was made possible by a surprise UN-brokered deal between the government and rebels to observe a three-day "humanitarian pause" in hostilities. The truce - due to be observed on Sunday when more people are set to be evacuated - had eluded mediators in last month's fruitless first round of peace talks between government and opposition delegations in Switzerland. The warring sides are due return to peace talks in Geneva Monday. After a day of violence in the city, the Syrian Arab Red Crescent said it had finally distributed food and medical aid to civilians in the Old City neighbourhood. The protracted siege has left residents starving, with people surviving on little other than olives and wild cereals, activists say. "Although the team was shelled and fired upon we managed to deliver 250 food parcels, 190 hygiene kits and chronic diseases medicines," the Red Crescent said on Twitter. The aid had been held up for months in a UN warehouse in a nearby government-controlled area. The UN says it wants to distribute emergency rations for 2,500 people, along with medical kits, bedding, cash and other support for those leaving or those choosing to stay in the Old City. Homs Governor Talal al-Barazi meanwhile told state news agency SANA that aid was distributed to two neighbourhoods, Bustan al-Diwan and Hamidiyeh.
