Syria TV says four aid workers wounded in Homs

World Bulletin / News Desk

Syrian state television said on Saturday four members of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent were wounded by gunfire as the aid workers tried to deliver humanitarian supplies to a besieged, rebel-held district of Homs city.

The humanitarian convoy had been delayed since Saturday morning by mortar fire in Homs, which the two warring sides blamed each other for, in violation of a three-day ceasefire for civilians to leave central Homs and aid supplies to get in.
