Since the start of the revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad nearly
a year ago, the independent humanitarian agency has been delivering food and
medical supplies to civilians in cities from Deraa to Homs.
But with the intensified crackdown in the last several weeks, ambulances of
the Syrian Arab Red Crescent have had more difficulty reaching rebel-held
areas and evacuating the growing number of wounded, the ICRC says.
Some areas are facing severe food shortages, it said last week.
On Monday, activists in the western city of Hama said troops, police and
militias had set up dozens of roadblocks, isolating neighbourhoods from each
other.
