Cautious calm interrupted by intermittent clashes on most fronts; rocket and artillery shelling; one fallen hero; siege continues causing acute shortage in food and medical supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Most of the city’s fronts witnessed cautious calm interrupted by intermittent clashes and mutual sniper operations throughout the day. The fiercest clashes between FSA fighters and regime forces, backed by Hezbollah militias, took place near the alleged Sukaina Shrine.
Some areas were targeted by artillery shelling which caused considerable damage to buildings and infrastructure while reconnaissance aircrafts flew over the city.
The city has entered a 7th month of siege and is suffering severe lack in flour and other medical and food supplies.

Daraya has been living for over seven months under tight siege stopping all necessities from reaching the city. Most food and medical supplies are running out while electricity, communications, and fuel are also completely cut off from the city.
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 and shelling.
