国际红十字会说，医疗物资和人道援助已经进入遭到袭击的霍姆斯市，很快就会被运送到巴巴阿姆鲁社区。
国际红十字会的一位发言人星期五说，装载着援助物资的七辆卡车组成的车队将进入巴巴阿姆鲁。巴巴阿姆鲁是霍姆斯的一个社区，那里的反政府人士和居民被政府军围困了将近一个月。
在援助到来的同时，活动人士说，越来越严峻的人道局势迫使反政府武装星期四作出“战术性撤退”。活动人士说，霍姆斯的饮用水供应已经被切断，而且缺少食品、医药和电力供应稀少。
另外，联合国人权办公室星期五宣布，他们得到未经证实的报告称，星期四霍姆斯的巴巴阿姆鲁区有17人被处决。
联合国人权事务高级专员的发言人表示，在这一“特别恐怖的一系列集体处决事件”发生后，联合国呼吁叙利亚当局阻止非法的报复、酷刑和任意拘禁。
The International Committee of the Red Cross says medical supplies and humanitarian aid have reached the battered city of Homs and will soon be taken to the Baba Amr neighborhood.
An ICRC spokesperson said Friday that a convoy of seven trucks carrying aid would enter Baba Amr, a district of Homs where rebels and citizens have been under siege by government forces for nearly a month.
The delivery comes as activists say the increasingly dire humanitarian situation led to the "tactical retreat" of opposition forces on Thursday. Activists say the city's water supply has been cut off and that food, medicine and electricity are scarce.
The United Nations' human rights office announced Friday it has received unconfirmed reports that 17 executions took place in Baba Amr on Thursday.
A spokesman ((Rupert Colville)) for U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said the global body is appealing to Syrian authorities and the opposition to prevent unlawful reprisals, torture and arbitrary detentions following this "particularly grizzly set of summary executions."
