For the second day running, the Red Cross in the Syrian city of Homs says it's given up hope of getting its relief convoy into the stricken district of Baba Amr to deliver aid. Jim Muir is following events from neighbouring Lebanon.
今天是红十字在叙利亚胡姆斯市工作的第二天,该组织称已放弃派救援使团进入受摧毁的巴巴阿鲁姆地区的希望。Jim Muir在邻国黎巴嫩跟踪此事。
As night fell, Red Cross officials said they'd given up for the day but would renew their efforts in the morning. They are being told by the Syrian authorities that it's too dangerous for them to go in because of possible mines or booby traps. But Syrian television has been in there showing pictures of massive destruction though it blamed it all on terrorist armed gangs carrying out a foreign plot to destabilise the country. Activists have accused the security forces of carrying out revenge killings and summary executions after they moved in on Thursday following the withdrawal of armed rebels.
夜晚降临时,红十字官员称当天已放弃计划,但明早将再次尝试。叙利亚当局告诉他们,该地区可能有地雷和陷阱,所以进入很危险。叙利亚电视台一直在播放显示大规模毁灭的图片,并归咎于恐怖武装团伙,称他们实施跨国阴谋企图扰乱叙利亚。活动人士谴责安全部队,称他们在武装叛军撤退后,就进入该地区并实施报复杀戮和草率处决。
