*** Military Centre Report***
Most military vehicles that headed towards Daraya this morning withdrew after fierce battles with FSA fighters along several fronts especially near Sukaina Shrine where FSA fighters damaged a T72 tank. Clashes also broke out near Liberty Square where two tanks were targeted and one BMP vehicle was destroyed and its crew killed. Sniping operations continued to hold back any advances.
Thus, day 118 of the Daraya battle concluded with new attempts by the regime to seize control of the city using all means available.
*** Medical Centre Report***
The field hospital continues to do its duty towards this great nation providing urgent medical care for civilians and FSA fighters alike.
Today the hospital received 6 victims. Most of the cases were in fair to medium conditions. Two surgical operations were carried out. Amidst a dire lack of medical supplies, the victims were rescued and given the necessary treatment and medication.
*** Humanitarian situation***
The suffering of the people of Daraya, whether they are still inside or displaced outside the city, has continued into the fourth month.
Around 10,000 people are still under siege inside the city 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.
