Daily News Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in Daraya, Damascus
8 April 2013
Headlines
Clashes in several areas and the FSA foils an infiltration; fierce artillery and rocket shelling causing a number of injuries; siege tightens causing dire need for medical and food supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
For five months, Daraya has been targeted with violent shelling originating from Al-Mazzeh military airport and Presidential Guard Barracks. The shelling damaged residential neighbourhoods in most areas and caused a number of injuries, many fires as well as widespread destruction.
Regime forces continued with their efforts to control the city. This morning, a military convoy supported by 4 tanks, 5 BMP vehicles, 4 armoured vehicles, ambulances, as well as several DShK and troop-carrying vehicles moved towards the city. A number of Assad’s fighters tried to infiltrate the north-western front but they were met with FSA fires which killed and injured all of them. Fierce clashes also broke out in the vicinity of Sukaina Shrine in which FSA fighters stood their ground.
*** Humanitarian situation***
More than 200,000 people have fled Daraya and they are living in horrible humanitarian conditions amid dire need for all the necessities of life especially food.
As for the defiant city of Daraya, the people are living in complete lack of electricity, water and food amid a strict siege blocking all entrance points to the city.
Arrest campaigns continue against the displaced people of Daraya in their places of residence and on all checkpoints in Damascus city and Damascus Countryside towns.
*** 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 6 injured victims whose situations were between medium-serious and fair. The victims were rescued and given the necessary treatment and medication.
