*** Recent developments on the ground***
Regime forces continued to shell the city of Daraya for a fifth consecutive month in a systematic attempt to destroy what is left of the city. Shelling by rocket launchers, heavy artillery and tanks has been targeting residential neighbourhoods, infrastructure and any form of architecture. As a result, many people have been injured and much more homes have been burnt and destroyed.
