"I think the reports of my survival may be exaggerated. I’m in Babo Amr. Sickening, trying to understand how the world can stand by and I should be hardened by now. Watched a baby die today. Shrapnel, doctors could do nothing. His little tummy just heaved and heaved until it stopped. Feeling helpless. As well as cold! Will keep trying to get out the information."

Marie Colvin, a war correspondent for the Sunday Times on her last report from Syria.

Colvin was killed along with French photographer Remy Ochlik when the building where they were staying was shelled by the Syrian army.

Maybe the rest of the world will take notice now that westerners are getting killed? It’s sickening that it’s taken this long.
