GENEVA, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Negotiations have resumed

with both Syrian authorities and opposition fighters aimed at

continuing medical evacuations from the besieged Baba Amro

district of Homs, the International Committee of the Red Cross

(ICRC) said on Saturday.

"Negotiations have resumed with Syrian authorities and the

opposition in order to continue evacuating all persons in need

of help," the ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan told Reuters.

"We hope to be able to carry out many more life-saving

operations," he said. "We are hopeful the ICRC will also enter

Baba Amro today."
