The orphaned boy is staying with this unit of rebel fighters after his father was allegedly killed by the regime. His mother’s whereabouts is unknown. After months of fighting, the city is without power, and running water and basic commodities are getting scarcer.

Relatives of Lebanese who had gone missing in Syria hold a banner that says, “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger” as they chant slogans during a protest in Tripoli, Lebanon, to inquire about their relatives' fate. At least 12 Lebanese gunmen were killed in a Syrian army ambush in the central Syrian province of Homs, a security source and people close to the men's families said Friday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 30 Lebanese fighters had gone missing, and a second security source said they were accompanied by nine Syrians as well as Libyans, Egyptians and Yemenis.

A Lebanese supporter of Islamist groups shouts slogans during a protest demanding to know the fate of Lebanese citizens who went missing with antigovernment rebels near the Syrian border in Tripoli. The conflict spilled into Syria's eastern neighbor after Lebanese troops exchanged fire with rebels across the border late Sunday. Violence from Syria's 20-month-old uprising has on several occasions touched neighboring countries, fueling concerns that the Arab Spring's longest and deadliest revolt could touch off a regional war.
