The Syrian government has yet again blocked the Red Cross from entering the area Baba Amr. The Red Cross needs the approval of the Syrian government in order to enter this area, due to checkpoints and the army. They have been hoping to receive access to this area for quite some time, but have been denied repeatedly. In response, they have gone to several areas such as Abel (a town nearby where many of the people displaced from Baba Amr have fled to). The Red Cross intends to go to many other areas, but due to the sheer size of the need in certain towns in Syria, they have not been able to distribute their services evenly.
