Two captives killed under torture; clashes in several areas; rocket and artillery shelling; siege continues causing acute shortage in food and medical supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Assad’s crimes against the people of Daraya seem to know no end. Today, two men from Daraya were killed by the regime. Muhammad Alabbar and his nephew Jihad Alabbar were tortured to death in the prisons of Military Intelligence.
Regime forces have renewed their attempts to seize control of the city by sending tanks and military vehicles from Al-Mazzeh Airport. Several areas witnessed intermittent clashes while fierce fighting was recorded along Nahr Marwan Road on the western front where several regime fighters were killed.
Some areas were targeted by artillery shelling which caused considerable damage to buildings and infrastructure while reconnaissance aircrafts and helicopters 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.

*** Humanitarian situation***
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.
