Violence in Syria

Two Western journalists were killed Wednesday in the Syrian city of Homs during bombings that left approximately sixty dead.

Marie Colvin was a Sunday Times reporter and Remi Ochlik was an award-winning French photographer. They both died when a shell hit the makeshift media center they were working in.

Since the uprising has begun, Western journalists have been denied entry into Syria. But helped by activists, increasingly more journalists have been entering the country undercover.

The Red Cross is presently demanding a daily ceasefire. They want to allow medical supplies in and civilians out, but there is no sign of this being agreed to.
