Bombardment of Homs 'heaviest in days'

The Syrian city of Homs is undergoing heavy bombardment for the fifth day running.

The BBC's Paul Wood, who is on the edge of the city, says the shelling is the heaviest so far and that people are becoming desperate for outside help.

These pictures purport to show the city of Homs today, but have not been filmed by the BBC and so cannot be verified.
