Headlines: Two martyrs and a number of casualties; clashes continue and Assad gangs suffer heavy losses; siege and shelling persist; dire humanitarian situation
Early in the morning, military reinforcement were moved out of the Almazzeh towards the city of Daraya. As a result, clashes broke out between the FSA and the barbaric Assad gangs for the 18th day in a row.
Battles have mainly taken place around Abu Salah Square “previously named Al-Bassel Square” and at the New Corniche up to Assadiq Alamin Mosque, in addition to the southern area and parts of the eastern area.
During the attacks, the barbaric Assad gangs used heavy machineguns and bombed the city using tanks and helicopters.
Daraya Martyrs Battalion, along with other supporting groups, were able to repel the attack. They destroyed one tank, damaged two others, destroyed one support vehicle and caused heavy losses in the ranks of Assad gangs evidenced by a large number of ambulances leaving the city in a rush on several occasions during the day.
Brutal bombardment of the city’s residential areas and civilian houses continued for a 22nd day. The southern and western areas were targeted by rocket launchers and heavy artillery.
As a result, two men were martyred and a number of civilians were wounded. Widespread destruction was also caused to residential areas, mosques and markets.
Today’s martyrs
• Yousef Alhariri
• Hilal Abu Assad
As a result, the number of fallen heroes caused by Assad’s barbaric onslaught against the city of Daraya since 08/11/2012 has risen to 205 including 13 children and 7 women. The number of civilians wounded has reached 450 including many women and children. Many of the wounded are in a serious situation. We pray for their rapid recovery.
The medical committee have performed a number of successful surgical operations. Most of those who underwent surgery are in a stable condition despite the severe lack in medicine, medical equipment and medical staff.
By the grace of God, there was a release of a number of people who were detained in the recent campaign by Assad gangs. Most were captured in Alarbain Road and at the several checkpoints surrounding the city.
*** Humanitarian situation
There is no electricity for the 27th day in a row. All basic utilities are also cut off. Those who remain inside Daraya are experiencing an unimaginably difficult humanitarian situation.
As for the displaced people, they are suffering from abysmal living conditions in cold weather due to the lack of living supplies like blankets, clothes and fuel in addition to the lack of food and medical supplies.
