Dozens of people have been killed in a suburb of Syria’s battle-scarred city of Homs, reports say, in what activists are describing as a “new massacre”.
According to BBC News, forty-four of those killed came from just a handful of families, the Local Co-Ordination Committees (LCC) said.
The reported killings come a day after the UN’s humanitarian chief visited Homs, saying parts had been devastated.
Meanwhile a Syrian deputy oil minister posted a message on YouTube saying he had defected to the rebels.
Abdo Hussameddin is the highest level political figure to abandon the government of President Bashar al-Assad since the uprising erupted a year ago.
