Amid the increasing violence in Syria, the BBC reports that British Foreign Secretary William Hague has said he could not rule out international military intervention, warning that the situation was starting to resemble Bosnia in the 1990s.

The humanitarian crisis also worsens as residents of Homs accuse the Syrian army of shelling rooftop water tanks to deprive residents of drinking water. Amateur video footage taken earlier this year and verified as genuine by the BBC shows the damage done by shrapnel to rooftop water tanks.

Temperatures in Syria can exceed 40C (104F) in summer.
