In Homs, already so devastated 1, the government bombardment is unrelenting. Mosques 2 have become morgues, places of worship now housing the dead.

Everyone has become a target in rebel-held areas. The victims are getting younger. And medics struggle to revive children with mortal wounds.
Rebel fighters have warned an onslaught was coming since they lost Qusayr, a strategically important town between the Homs and Syria's border with Lebanon.
Now, the military has momentum 5. And Bashar al-Assad's forces are aiming to vanquish(征服；击败；克服) the rebellion in the heart of the Syrian uprising.
Activists 6 say this is the worst violence they've yet experienced in two years of conflict, that Homs is hit harder every day.
