At least two people were killed today as Syrian troops resumed their shelling of a rebel-held district in the besieged city of Homs, activists said.The activists said the two died shortly after government forces began shelling Baba Amr this morning, following a relative calm overnight.
The Baba Amr neighbourhood in the south-east of the city has become the epicentre of the nearly year-long uprising against President Bashar Assad.
It has been under siege and intense shelling for three weeks. Hundreds of civilians have died, according to activists.
As the violence continues, a meeting in Tunisia today is expected to bring together more than 70 nations to look at ways to assist Mr Assad's opponents.
