Some 50 people, including women and children, held another protest in Valletta today against the renewed shelling in Syria as European and Arab nations met in Tunisia to seek ways to ease the crisis.

The protesters deplored China's and Russia's veto of two United Nations Security Council resolutions condemning President Bashar Assad's crackdown on protests that killed 5,400 in 2011 alone, according to the UN

They also urged the Western and Arab world to help with food, fuel and basic necessities.

"We don't want weapons, we'd rather get the basic necessities," they said.
