Headlines: Five martyrs and a number of injuries; three air raids throw incendiary cluster bombs; FSA destroy one armoured vehicle; 31 days of shelling and siege; dire humanitarian situation

For the second day in a row, and the thirteenth day since the beginning of the vicious Assadist campaign, the city of Daraya woke up to the noise of MiG and Sukhoi fighters and the blasts of massive explosions caused by heavy bombing including incendiary cluster bombs on civilian neighbourhoods, markets and places of worship. Three raids were recorded throughout the day.
Assad forces are still desperately seeking to storm Daraya for a 27th day in a row.
Fierce battles took place between the FSA and the Assad gangs on several fronts especially around the western entrance to the city, which is connected to Almuaddamiya city, as well as the southern and eastern entrances.
Daraya Martyrs Battalion, along with other supporting groups, were able to repel all these attacks. They destroyed a BMP vehicle and inflicted heavy losses in the ranks of the Assad gangs.
Other battles were fought near Abu Salah Square and up to Alhikmeh School. FSA fighters successfully chased off fighters of the Assad gangs.
Brutal bombardment of the city’s residential areas and civilian houses using rocket launchers and heavy artillery continued for the 31st day in a row. As a result, four people were martyred and others were injured.
*** Today’s martyrs
1. Mamdouh Habeeb (Abu Ahmad)
2. Abdulsattar Hamada (Abu Issam)
3. Muhammad Haidar (Abu Odai)

*** Humanitarian situation
The humanitarian situation of people remaining inside Daraya and people who escaped is increasingly getting worse.
The city is still isolated from the outside world due to power and communication cuts which have lasted for 35 days.
The need for heating fuel (a.k.a Mazot) has become all the more desperate with the advance of winter and falling temperatures.
Food and medical supplies are also in acute shortage amid deafening silence by human rights and relief organizations.

Assad gangs are located in these areas
• A number of soldiers including a sniper hiding inside homes around Alhikmeh School
• A number of soldiers including a sniper hiding inside homes near the Police Station
• Along Sahnaya –Jedaideh Road which runs alongside Daraya
• Aldahadeel Road between Hammam Alqishani and Alsalam Mosque
• Around Alothman Mosque
• Around Wahab Mosque
• Snipers spread in the vicinity the above areas targeting any moving body.
