FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Satellite images of mosques, schools, playgrounds and a hospital, destroyed or
badly damaged by artillery, are an indication of the ferocity of recent
regime attacks, US intelligence officials were quoted as saying.
Having captured the rebel stronghold of Baba Amr, which held out against 26
consecutive days of bombardment, Syrian government forces have turned their
attention to four other anti-Assad districts – Khalidiya, Deir Baalba,
Ashira and Karm al-Zaytoon.
With the bulk of rebel forces having fled the city, the operation is on a
smaller scale than the offensive against Baba Amr, where hundreds died.
Activists say, however, the situation remains both deadly and desperate.
“Families in Homs are trying to support each other by sharing their food
supplies, but there is not enough food and the continued siege and
bombardment have prevented any supplies from entering the city,” an activist
affiliated to the human rights group Avaaz said.
“Water supplies, communications and internet continue to be cut off completely
in the city. There’s also no electricity for most parts of the day.”
Lady Amos, who described witnessing horrific destruction in Baba Amr, has
demanded unhindered access for humanitarian aid to victims of the turmoil.
But Mr Assad has so far only granted permission for a “limited assessment
exercise by UN agencies and the Syrian authorities.”
Given the continuing violence and the regime’s unwillingness to cooperate even
on humanitarian issues, the Syrian opposition poured scorn on Mr Annan’s
calls for dialogue with the Assad government, saying he was “living on Mars”.
“These kinds of comments are disappointing and do not give a lot of hope for
people in Syria being massacred every day,” Burhan Ghalioun, head of the
opposition Syrian National Council, told the Associated Press.
“It feels like we are watching the same movie over and over again,” he said,
dismissing Mr Annan’s initiative as “pointless”.
