( CNN ) -- More than 600 people were evacuated from a restive Syrian city on Sunday , after gunfire interrupted a U.N.-brokered humanitarian pause , state media reported . Syria 's government-run Syria TV channel and news agency SANA said Sunday afternoon that 611 people were convoyed out of the city of Homs . SANA reported most of the people evacuated were women , children and senior citizens , citing the governor of the province , Talal al-Barazi . Vehicles from the Red Crescent and United Nations had a difficult time entering the city over the weekend as they were targeted by gunfire and explosives . But workers managed to deliver some aid to the thousands of people in the besieged section of the city known as the Old City of Homs , where rebels battle government troops and each other . A photo on the Twitter feed of the Syrian Red Crescent showed dozens of people standing in the rubble of a street as aid workers passed out supplies and food . `` Although the team was shelled and fired upon we managed to deliver 250 food parcels,190 hygiene kits and chronic diseases medicines , '' the organization said in a tweet on Saturday . The team said that one driver suffered a minor injury when explosions and gunfire hit near the convoy in Homs . The convoy left , but two of the four trucks were damaged and had to be left behind , the organization said . Who targeted the aid workers is in dispute . A Wall Street Journal reporter in Syria told CNN that workers in the convoy had no doubt the fire came from government forces . But Sam Dagher said al-Barazi told him it was two rival rebel factions -- one that wants to keep civilians as human shields and another that wants to exchange them for aid . Valerie Amos , the U.N. humanitarian chief , lamented Saturday that the `` three-day humanitarian pause agreed ( upon ) was broken today and aid workers ( were ) deliberately targeted . '' `` Today 's events serve as a stark reminder of the dangers that civilians and aid workers face every day across Syria , '' said Amos , who applauded `` the courage and tenacity '' of U.N. and Red Crescent aid workers . Video from the scene posted by activists showed bullet holes in the aid vehicles and damage to buildings from explosions . The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency had reported that four Syrian Arab Red Crescent workers were wounded Saturday by gunfire from `` terrorist groups '' while trying to deliver aid . First civilians evacuated . The U.N.-led operation to help civilians wishing to leave the Old CIty of Homs started Friday with the evacuation of 83 women , children and elderly civilians after an agreement between the government and opposition groups for a cease-fire that was also intended to allow humanitarian aid to reach the city on Saturday . Before this weekend 's evacuations , as many as 2,500 people were thought to be trapped in the Old City of Homs , parts of which have been under siege since June 2012 . A video posted Saturday to YouTube showed more than a dozen civilians carrying bundles as they walked between four U.N. vehicles -- two on each side -- in an apparent attempt to avoid being shot . It was not clear whether they reached their destination . The killing flared anew Saturday across the nation , with more than 80 people killed , 10 of them children and six women , the Local Coordination Committees of Syria reported . Five of the deaths occurred in Homs , it said . Nearly half of the deaths -- 41 -- occurred in Aleppo , where video shot by an opposition activist and posted to YouTube showed the graphic aftermath of what the poster said was a barrel-bomb attack carried out by government helicopters : buildings with their faces blown off , bodies with their limbs blown off and cars ablaze . Barrel bombs are drums packed with explosives and shrapnel . `` Each and every barrel bomb filled with metal shrapnel and fuel launched against innocent Syrians underscores the barbarity of a regime that has turned its country into a super magnet for terror , '' U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said last week in a statement after another reported barrel-bomb attack on the northern city , which has become a flashpoint in the war .
NEW : State media say 83 people evacuated three-day after 83 moved Friday . Each side says other was responsible for gunfire directed at U.N.-led aid convoy . Operation began on three-day , part of a months humanitarian pause . More than 2,500 have been trapped by three-day of violence .
