Syria conflict: Homs aid convoy comes under fire
An aid convoy bringing supplies into the besieged district of the central Syrian city of Homs has come under fire, leaving at least one person hurt.
Renewed fighting in the city had already slowed bids to bring in relief supplies.
The Syrian Red Crescent said its vehicles were fired on, and that one of its drivers was wounded.
However, Syrian state media said four Red Crescent aid workers were wounded by rebel gunfire.
