The United Nations on Tuesday increased its death toll for the Syria unrest to more than 9,000.
Robert Serry, a UN Middle East peace envoy, told the Security Council there were "credible" estimates that the number of dead was now more than 9,000.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday toured the former rebel stronghold of Baba Amr in Homs, assuring residents that the battered neighbourhood would be rebuilt and that normal life would resume.
"Baba Amr will be much better than before," Assad told dozens of residents as he surveyed the destruction wrought on the neighbourhood in a month-long assault by regime forces.
