Square (city centre), and in Aljamiaat area (northwest) where FSA
fighters were able to liberate three buildings which had been
infiltrated by Assadist elements. Other clashes broke out near Sukaina
Shrine (city centre) while intermittent fighting was also recorded on

*** Medical Situation***
The field hospital received today 9 victims including civilians injured
by the barbaric shelling, as well as FSA fighters injured in action.
Most of the cases were in medium to critical conditions. Amid a dire
lack of medical supplies, the victims were rescued and given the
necessary treatment and medication.
*** 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
over 3 months in complete power cut and total blocking of medical, fuel
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.
Infiltrating Assad gangs are located in these areas
• A number of soldiers including a sniper in Liberty Square
• A number of soldiers including a sniper near Alsamh Mosque
• A number of soldiers including a sniper around Alkholani Mosque
• A number of soldiers including a sniper around Alnakkashat area and the police station
• A number of soldiers including a sniper around Alshamiat
• A number of soldiers including a sniper hiding inside homes near the Graveyard and Municipality square
