The Syrian army is stepping up its assault on the coastal city of Latakia.
Activists say the army has rounded up thousands of people, and taken them captive in a local sports stadium.
And a UN spokesman says a Palestinian refugee camp in the city has come under fire, prompting thousands of refugees to flee.
