Heavy shelling in Damascus.
Amateur video which could not be independently verified by Reuters appears to show parts of Syria's Capital City under attack.
The video comes amid reports of a new exodus flowing from Syria as fighting edges closer to the heart of Damascus. Those who swore they would never flee are selling belongings to escape a battle now raging on their doorsteps.
March was the bloodiest month to date in Syria's more than two-year-old civil war, with an estimated 6,000 people killed.
Footage from Aleppo shows residents climbing through rubble in search of signs of life.
A man turns to the camera and asks -- "this is what Basha al-Assad promised us? This is reform? He and his family and supporters are worth less than a shoe"
More than 1 million Syrian refugees have already left, with thousands more fleeing daily -- in a war that has already claimed 70,000 lives.
