Observations of a Global Nomad, French reporter Edith Bouvier asks for Syria evacuation

The French journalist who was wounded in an attack on the Syrian city of Homs on Wednesday has asked to be evacuated from Syria quickly.

Edith Bouvier was injured in the attack that killed journalists Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik in the Baba Amr suburb.

In a video posted online by opposition activists, Ms Bouvier says she has a broken femur and needs an operation.

She says she needs a ceasefire and a medically equipped vehicle to take her to the Lebanese border.

In a separate video, British photographer Paul Conroy, who was also injured in the attack, says he is being looked after by the medical staff of the Free Syrian Army.

He stresses that he is with them as a guest and that despite three large wounds to his leg he is “absolutely OK”.
