The UN mediator at the Geneva peace talks has told reporters Syria will allow women and children to leave the besieged area of Homs.
The UN mediator, Lakhdar Brahim, says the opposition has agreed to give the government lists of detainees held by armed groups.
Hundreds of people are reportedly trapped in besieged parts of the city, including some who are very ill.
Supporters of the military held rallies on Saturday to mark the third anniversary of the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
