Syria crisis: Valerie Amos describes Homs 'devastation'

UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos has said parts of the Syrian city of Homs have been "completely devastated".

She said that it felt like the city had been closed down entirely.

Baroness Amos visited the city on Wednesday, briefly entering the bombed-out Baba Amr district.

....

She was also not being allowed to enter opposition-held areas despite government assurances she could visit the whole country.

(I wonder why.)
