Daily News Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in Daraya, Damascus
28 April 2013
***Headlines***
Several deaths and injuries caused by shelling; reconnaissance aircraft fly over the city; rocket and artillery shelling; clashes continue on several fronts
*** Recent developments on the ground***
MiG fighters conducted several air raids against the city and bombed several neighbourhoods using thermobaric (vacuum) bombs. The raids were followed by prolonged reconnaissance sorties while heavy artillery and rocket shelling was targeting the city indiscriminately.
A convoy of reinforcements entered Daraya coming from Al-Mazzeh Airport in day 167 of the campaign to seize control of the city. The convoy included military vehicles, tanks, BMP vehicles, as well as troop-carriers. By sunset, most vehicles retreated from the city after being faced with strong resistance by FSA fighters especially along the southern Corniche and Sukaina Shrine.
The southern and western fronts witnessed less violent clashes.
Two people died today in Daraya:
1- Naiem Abu Mahmoud, killed by shelling
2- Ayman Abu Mahmoud, died from previously-inflicted injuries

*** Humanitarian situation***
An arrest campaign targeted people displaced from Daraya in Jedaidat Artouz area. More than 15 people were arrested.
The suffering of the displaced Darayans is increasing on a daily basis, especially those in neighbouring towns. More than 200,000 displaced people face unimaginable difficulties under siege, shelling and recurring massacres. People remaining inside Daraya are facing a far greater threat under siege and total absence of the basic necessities of life including electricity and water.
*** Medical Centre Report***
A few people are still suffering from toxic gas poisoning after yesterday’s attack. The medical team has been following up these cases closely with the aim of helping them achieve recovery.
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 a number of injured victims. The victims were rescued and given the necessary treatment and medication.
