The evacuation of rebels from the old city of Homs came to a halt Wednesday, after an aid convoy was prevented from entering the villages of Nubl and Zahraa in Aleppo, Al-Jadeed television reported.

The two Shiite villages are under siege by rebel forces, and the deal to evacuate the rebels in Homs was contingent on aid being allowed into the villages.
