Headlines: Clashes continue and the FSA stop storming attempts for the 41st day; Shelling, siege and destruction continue for the 45th day; 3 martyrs and a number of injuries; medical and humanitarian situation deteriorating
For the 41st day in a row, battles continued between the FSA and Assad forces who are planning to storm Daraya and wreak havoc in the city.
This morning a military convoy made up from tanks, armoured vehicles, and troop carriers headed towards Daraya after leaving Al-Mazzeh military airport via Daraya Arch Road. Another convoy coming from Daraa highway moved towards Almaamil Road. The two convoys were preceded by intense shelling using tanks and targeted artillery.
Fierce battles broke out between the FSA and regime forces along many fronts including the eastern, southern and western fronts.
The most atrocious battles were fought along the eastern front starting from Abu Salah Square up to Old Corniche and the surrounding areas.
Daraya Martyrs Battalion was able to repel the attacks showing great valour. Despite the great difference in power, the FSA destroyed two tanks and inflicted great losses on the Assad gangs. A number of ambulances was seen leaving Daraya towards Damascus in a hectic rush.
Other battles were fought intermittently along the southern front, especially in evening. The FSA forced the Assad gangs to retreat after suffering great losses.
Alongside the battles, artillery, tanks and land-to-land rocket launchers continued to shell the city’s neighbourhoods for a 45th consecutive day with different levels of force. The shelling is part of Assad’s policy to destroy the revolting cities.

3. Ahmad Hussein Ziadah, extrajudicial field execution on the outskirts of the city
A number of detainees, who were originally displaced Daraya residents, have been released after being arrested in previous campaigns on Khan Alsheih farms last month.
*** Medical Situation
The field hospital received today 17 injured people including 10 in critical situation and 6 in need of urgent surgical operations. The surgical operations were performed despite the horrible circumstances under which the medical team is working.
The medical team are continuing to treat people injured in past few days. Many previous injuries required medical procedure such as amputation which were performed despite limited resources.
*** Humanitarian situation
The humanitarian situation is increasingly getting worse for the people of Daraya, whether they are still inside or displaced outside the city.
Around 10,000 people have been under siege inside the city for 49 days in a complete power cut and total blocking of medical and food supplies.
More than 200,000 displaced people are still suffering the hard living conditions associated with displacement in several areas in Damascus and Damascus Countryside. Most of them suffer under the cold weather, lack of food, blankets and the basic necessities of life. Many of them live in uninhabitable places. The cold weather and lack of medical supplies causes the spread of winter diseases especially among children.
