A number of people were killed other than Marie and Remi in the shelling attach on makeshift media centre in Baba Amr area. Opposition-held districts have been under cordon by protection authorities for more than two weeks, leaving hundreds dead.

Activists said more than 40 died on Tuesday, including Rami al-Sayed, a man who transmits a live video stream from Homs used by world media. Rami al- Sayed was deadly wounded during the selling attack in Baba Amr, Homs. Mr. Sayed’s brother posted a video of his wounded body in a hospital. 

The Red Cross has called on the administration and mutineers to concur to a daily ceasefire, to permit medical supplies to reach the worst affected areas and get civilians out, but there is no sign yet of this being agreed.
