Hadi Abdullah, of the opposition General Commission of the Syrian Revolution, said there were three shelters in the town these could no longer accommodate people fleeing their homes every day in fear that they could fall victims of indiscriminate bombardment.
He said incessant bombing and shooting were preventing the evacuation and relief efforts in the city.
Earlier, Abdullah told AFP that that Syrian security forces carried out their heaviest pounding of the central protest city of Homs in the past 14 days on Friday.
“It’s the most violent in 14 days. It’s unbelievable - extreme violence the like of which we have never seen before, with an average of four rockets every minute,” Abdullah said.
