08/06/2013
***Headlines***
Intermittent clashes in several areas; rocket and artillery shelling causes 1 death and a number of injuries; flour runs out after an 8-month long siege which blocks all food and medical supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Battles were renewed between the FSA and regime forces supported by Hezbollah fighters along several fronts. The regime has been trying to seize control of the city for almost 8 months. This morning a military convoy consisting of tanks and armoured vehicles headed towards the city coming from Al-Mazzeh Military Airport. Intermittent clashes broke out in several areas especially around the alleged ‘Sukaina Shrine’, around Liberty Square, along Almaamil Road, and on the western and southern fronts. Sniper operations continued on all fronts while helicopters flew over the city.
The southern and western fronts were shelled using artillery and tank fire causing 1 death and a number of injuries.

*** Humanitarian situation***
Daraya has been living for over eight 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.
