Amateur video purports to show fresh violence on the streets of the battered Syrian cities of Homs and Deraa.

A Red Cross team plans to distribute aid to residents in part of a war-battered neighborhood in the Syrian city of Homs today. This follows days of being kept out by Syrian forces. Joining The Takeaway is Carla Haddad Mardini, spokeswoman for the International Red Cross.

Syria’s government is allowing the Red Cross into the Baba Amr district of Homs today… for the first time since the weeks-long military bombardment began there.

In Syria, Red Cross workers enter the besieged enclave of Bab Amr in the city of Homs. International Committee of the Red Cross spokesperson Carla Haddad Mardini joins The Takeaway for an update, next.
