In Syria, at least 25 people have been killed in two bomb attacks on military and security buildings in the northern city of Aleppo. The bombings come as the Syrian government continues to bombard the city of Homs with tanks, helicopters and artillery, reportedly killing more than 100 people on Thursday. Witnesses said roads around the suburb of Baba Amr have been sealed, and residents there are running out of food. In video posted online, an activist living inside Homs appealed for international help.

Danny Abdul Dayem: “This is Homs, Baba Amr. We can see over there another rocket landed on one of the civilians’ houses. This has been going on all day long, from 5 a.m. It’s about 8 a.m. right now. This is going to keep going on until 7 p.m. This is the life we’ve got used to: rockets, bullets killing children dead in the street, body parts. Why isn’t the world helping us? Where’s the humanity in the world? Where is the freaking U.N.? Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this? Are these animals? Aren’t these civilian houses over there? Aren’t these human beings that live in that house.”
