Al-Jazeera Video: UN observers find 'ghost town' in Syria


"The road to Haffa, once a town of 24,000 people and popular with tourists, is now empty with most of the people gone. Left are burnt-out cars, bombed buildings, and according to the United Nations observers, a stench of dead bodies.

The UN had been trying to get into Haffa for a week, amid fears of a brutal assault by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.

What observers found was evidence of a recent battle, and a strong Syrian army presence.

Al Jazeera's Dominic Kane reports."
