The director of UNHCR's Middle East and North Africa Bureau has said that the U.N. is discussing with Lebanese authorities the possibility of setting up camps for Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

An Nahar daily quoted Amin Awad as saying on Saturday that the proposal calls for establishing the camps in Lebanese territories away from the border with Syria and the dividing lines between the warring sides ... to limit the presence of refugees in several locations.”

The United States urged both Syria and Russia on Friday to ensure that the remaining stockpile of Syrian chemical weapons is handed over to U.N. inspectors for destruction.

"We still continue to believe that the Assad regime can and must begin to take the necessary steps, including the packaging and destruction of certain materials on the site to demonstrate it is determined to fulfill its obligation," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Returning to her home in the war-ravaged Homs neighborhood of Hamidiyeh, Huda found nothing where her house once stood but a pile of rubble and a lone cup from her coffee service.

She was among hundreds who were allowed to return Friday to inspect the damage to homes they abandoned two years ago rebels and government troops battled for control of the city.

A senior U.N. aid official accused the Syrian government on Friday of blockading medical supplies from convoys bound for opposition-held areas and called for a fresh international push to end the conflict.

"Medical supplies are being removed from convoys as part of a strategy to deny the wounded medical care. This is an abomination," John Ging, the U.N. director of Syria aid operations, told reporters in Geneva.

A Turkish charity said on Friday one person was killed and two hurt near the Syrian city of Aleppo when Syrian warplanes hit two trucks carrying aid on its behalf. 

Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) said that trucks carrying flour and blankets were caught in the middle of an air campaign late Thursday by the Syrian Air Force targeting rebel strongholds in the divided city. 

Lebanon has placed prohibitive restrictions on the entry of Palestinians fleeing Syria, making it almost impossible for them to take refuge in the small Mediterranean country.

New measures mean Palestinians fleeing Syria will not be given visas at the border, while those who are already in the country will not have their visas renewed.

The last Syrian rebels left Homs' Old City Friday under an evacuation deal that hands the government a symbolic victory, as civilians began trickling back in to find neighborhoods in rubble.

The pullout leaves the rebels confined to a single district on the outskirts of the central city, once "the capital of the revolution" against President Bashar Assad.

Saudi Arabia has urged the indefinite postponement of an Arab League meeting on Syria that Riyadh itself called, the group's deputy chief Ahmed Ben Helli said on Friday.

The meeting of foreign ministers was originally called for Monday by Riyadh, which backs rebels in the conflict, to discuss "steps that need to be taken to deal with the Syrian tragedy".

Insecurity in war-torn Syria is hampering the final stages of work to dismantle its chemical weapons arsenal, the U.N. official overseeing the task told reporters on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters following a closed door meeting of the U.N. Security Council, Sigrid Kaag said 92 percent of Syria's illicit chemical stockpiles have been destroyed, as a June 30 deadline approaches.

Syria still has chemicals to make enough nerve agent to replicate last August's deadly attack outside Damascus "many times over", Britain warned the world's chemical watchdog on Thursday.

Britain's deputy delegate to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is charged with destroying President Bashar Assad's chemical weapons, accused Syria of delaying the destruction of its chemical weapons.
