Syrian Red Crescent organization entered Sunday a village in the restive central province of Homs and distributed aid to displaced people there, an official said.

Convoys of Syria's Red Crescent with representatives of the International Red Cross entered the Abil village south of Homs and distributed hygiene kits, food stuffs and other necessities to restive people, who were displaced from the flashpoint neighborhood Baba Amr in Homs due to the simmering violence, Khalid Ariksusi, head of the operation section in the Syrian Red Crescent told Xinhua Sunday.

Ariksusi said that neither the Red Crescent nor the Red Cross have entered Baba Amr, saying that they "will enter the area soon. " "We care about the people not the places... so wherever we find people in need we go," he added.

The Red Crescent is due to enter Monday the Insha'at neighborhood in Homs to rush in relief aid.

Earlier in the day, the private al-Watan newspaper said the Syrian army troops have cleansed Baba Amr from armed groups, which had controlled the neighborhood for nearly a month.

Baba Amr has emerged as the epicenter of armed confrontation between troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and armed rebels comprised partly by army defectors.

Activists said Baba Amr has been under the army bombardment for nearly a month, and hundreds of people have been killed in the area since Feb. 4, when the Syrian army started its assault on " armed groups."

The government said it was fighting armed terrorist groups and al-Qaida members, who have reportedly infiltrated to Syria to fight alongside the rebels.

The armed rebels in Baba Amr said in a statement carried by Arab TV channels that they made a "tactical pullout" from the restive area due to shortage in weapons and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.

Syria has been gripped by unrest since March 2011. The protest movement started peacefully with demands for modest reforms, but the protesters' demands snowballed later to the toppling of Assad government. Over the past few months, the protesters started to take up arms, citing what they called "the regime's bloody crackdown" on them.

The Free Syrian Army, an anti-Assad militia consisting of Syrian army defectors, has intensified its attacks in border areas near Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.

The Syrian government has accused some Arab and Western countries of providing weapons and financial support to the armed groups in Syria. It said in December 2011 that "armed terrorist groups" had killed more than 2,000 army and security personnel during the unrest.

The United Nations said recently that "well over" 7,500 people have died in Syria's violence.
