Arab League observers have reportedly arrived in the Syrian city of Homs just one day after government forces descended on the area, allegedly killing dozens of people. Residents claim at least 34 people were killed in Homs on Monday, while several neighborhoods were left without food, water or electricity. Fifty observers arrived to Syria on Monday. They will reportedly tour the country in teams of 10 in an effort to assess of conditions on the ground. Their identities have largely been kept secret. Some activists worry the teams will not be able to make an objective judgment of the situation due to the Assad regime’s close monitoring of the coalition. The teams will be using government transportation to tour the restive nation and are barred from visiting sensitive government locations. The United Nations estimates the Syrian government has killed more than 5,000 people since it began its crackdown on opposition protests in March.
