Al-Qusayr, in the region of Homs, is a bastion of the Syrian resistance. In order to dodge shells and snipers, the people lie low. With each attack, the wounded flood into secret makeshift clinics. But short of ammunition and outgunned, the soldiers of the Free Syrian Army do not know how much longer they can hold out. France 24's reporters take you inside Al-Qusayr to meet the struggling resistance.
