Daily News Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in Daraya, Damascus
12/06/2013
***Headlines***
FSA clears several buildings on the eastern front and regime retaliates with violent rocket and artillery shelling; one martyr and a number of injured victims; siege continues causing acute shortage in all food and medical supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
The FSA carried out an extensive attack last night against several buildings occupied by regime forces along Almaamil Road on the eastern front. The attack resulted in clearing the buildings from infiltrators and killing many of them. The regime’s response was by violently shelling neighbouring areas using rockets and artillery. As a result, one person died and a number were injured.
Regime forces continued to dispatch new military vehicles and tanks from Al-Mazzeh Airport in an attempt to advance inside the city. The attempts were stopped by FSA fighters and intermittent clashes broke out in the vicinity of the alleged ‘Sukaina Shrine’, around liberty square, along the Old Corniche and on the western and southern fronts. Warplanes conducted raids against the city during which most combat fronts were bombed.

*** 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.
