The International Committee of the Red Cross says a team from its Syrian sister organization has been able to enter an embattled neighborhood in Syria's city of Homs.

Red Cross spokeswoman Carla Haddad said late Monday that the Syrian Arab Red Crescent is now in Bab Amr neighborhood trying to deliver medical supplies and evacuate wounded persons.

Aid groups have been unable to enter Baba Amr since Friday, when 27 sick and wounded people were evacuated.

Two wounded Western journalists are believed to still be trapped in Bab Amr.
