BEIRUT — Diplomats on Thursday were seeking new approaches to remedy the worsening conflict in Syria as opposition activists reported that government shelling and attacks had killed more than 100 more people — most of them in the beleaguered city of Homs.
After almost a weeklong siege, residents of Homs’ Babr Amro neighborhood described scenes of blood-spattered field hospitals, bodies left unburied, terrified families huddled in residences to avoid gunfire and shortages of medicine food, water and electricity.
