As violence continues in Syria, CNN International (DStv 401) will present a 30 minute special this weekend, entitled Homs: City Under Siege.
Narrated by CNN's senior international correspondent Nic Robertson, Homs: City Under Siege takes viewers inside Syria's third-largest city – and a flashpoint in the uprising.
As bombs rain down on residential neighbourhoods, snipers shoot at those who dare to leave their homes. Bodies lay in the streets, as women, children, even medical crews are killed. This is how activists describe the scene in what's being called the capital of the Syrian uprising.
Homs has suffered the worst of the violence that has left more than 6 000 people dead since the uprising and government crackdown began almost a year ago. Distressing images and remarkable voices bear witness to the deteriorating situation and the escalating atrocities. Through the voices of those who are living it, CNN International will tells the story of one week in Homs: City Under Siege.
Homs: City Under Siege is on CNN International today at 12:30 and 18:30 (South African time), Sunday (12 February) at 02:30 and 23:30 and Monday Monday (13 February) at 06:30.
