Daily News Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in Daraya, Damascus
24 March 2013
Headlines
Regime forces continue with their attempts to seize control of the city and the FSA repels attacks valiantly; five months of shelling, siege and destruction; One martyr and a number of injuries; Humanitarian and medical situation utterly miserable
*** Recent developments***
The battle of resistance is still grinding on in Daraya, the city that is still proving insurmountable for Assad’s forces and their daily reinforcements.
Today’s reinforcement convoy coming from Al-Mazzeh Airport consisted of 6 tanks, 4 BMP vehicles, DShK vehicles and a number of troop-carriers moved towards the city. The city was also subject to military helicopters flying for extended periods above the city. MiG fighter jets also flew over the western countryside of Damascus. Shelling did not stop throughout the day. The city was targeted with a hail of shelling coming from several points including: Al-Mazzeh Airport, Fourth Division Mountains and Regiment 100 the shelling caused massive destruction in residential buildings. In the evening, all reinforcement forces retreated after being valiantly fought off by the FSA.
Daraya bid farewell to Muhannad Abu Usama who died by sniper fire while defending his city. May God bless his soul.
*** Humanitarian situation***
The humanitarian situation for people staying in Daraya is extremely dreadful amid a total blackout and a complete lack in the necessities of life.
The situation for displaced people is also increasingly getting worse as their needs increase with time. Adding insult to injury are the indiscriminate arrests against them either in their gathering places or on checkpoints.
*** Medical Centre Report***
The medical team continues to provide all possible help to rescue and treat injured victims whether civilians or FSA fighters despite the extreme shortage in medical staff, equipment and material.
The field hospital received today 7 injured victims. The victims were rescued and given the necessary treatment and medication.
