Violence on the streets of the besieged Syrian city of Homs.<br/> <br />This amateur video footage purports to show rebel forces in Homs on Saturday celebrating an attack on a military vehicle.<br/> <br />The footage could be evidence that rebel soldiers are still fighting back, despite having been pushed out of their stronghold of Baba Amro.<br/> <br />Red Cross and Red Crescent teams on Sunday began distributing aid in a village near Homs, and are planning to move to other neighbourhoods sheltering families that have fled weeks of government shelling.<br/> <br />The aid workers hope to also gain access to neighbourhoods within Homs.<br/> <br />But opposition activists say they've been blocked from entering so they don't witness Syrian army "massacres".<br/> <br />Another video purportedly shows government forces firing on the streets of the northern city of Aleppo.<br/> <br />The UN says security forces have killed nearly 8,000 civilians in the year-long revolt.<br/> <br />While the Syrian goverment blames what they call 'armed terrorists' for killing over 2,000 soldier and police.<br/> <br />Travis Brecher, Reuters
