Daily News Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in Daraya, Damascus
12 April 2013
***Headlines***
fierce artillery and rocket shelling; looting and robbing of houses continues in regime-controlled areas; houses in the vicinity of Al-Mazzeh airport blown up and demolished; suffocating siege and a dire need for medical and food supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
This morning, a military convoy headed towards the city of Daraya in a new attempt to seize control of the city. The convoy was made up of 9 tanks, 4 BMP vehicles, two armoured vehicles, a number of DShK-fitted vehicles in addition to a number of ambulances and a large number of troop-carrying coaches and cars. The troops looted and vandalized civilian homes in regime-controlled areas. By sunset, most reinforcements had left the city loaded with loot from homes and shops. Meanwhile, residential neighbourhoods alongside Al-Mazzeh airport were subjected to bombing and demolishing operations in a pre-emptive move by the regime aimed at preventing FSA fighters from using these areas as a base for attacking the airport. Shelling continued against most city areas. Shells came from artillery and rocket launchers based in Al-Mazzeh airport, Fourth Division, Presidential Guard Barracks, Regiment 100 and Regiment 153.
*** 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.
