The bombardment of Homs will be judged by history as a massacre comparable to Rwanda or Srebrenica, says a British photographer injured in the attacks.

Paul Conroy, 47, told BBC's Newsnight he had witnessed "a systematic slaughter of the civilian population".

In all his experience of war zones, he had never seen anything on this level, he said, and in 10 years, the world would be "wringing its hands" in shame.

(Not the whole world Paul. Some tried.
Russia and China supplied and supported and blocked all international moves to stop it.)

Speaking from his hospital bed in London, Conroy described conditions in Homs as catastrophic, with people living in "bombed-out wrecks" and "waiting to die".

The next phase in the conflict will not be televised but it will happen, he said.

Urging the international community to act, he said that when Baba Amr fell, the regime would turn to other areas.

Paul Conroy describes the "pure, systematic slaughter of a civilian population"
"When Baba Amr is finished, and I think it's almost there now, we've watched it happen, they're going to move on, they're going to move into the countryside, the towns and there will be no witnesses," he said.

"Women, children, old men, young people will just cease to exist, they will cease to exist and in 10 years we will have an investigation and people will say 'how did this happen?'"
