Residents of Hama province in Syria flee north fearing intense clashes

Residents of Hama's countryside flee to safe areas in northern Syria, fearing intense clashes between the rebels fighters and regime forces.

In little over a week, the rebel offensive has seen strategically located Hama and Syria's second city Aleppo fall from President Bashar al-Assad's control for the first time since the civil war began in 2011.
