14/06/2013
***Headlines***
Demonstration amid the rubble; intermittent clashes on several fronts and the FSA stands its ground; rocket and artillery shelling causes a number of injured victims; siege continues causing acute shortage in all supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
For a seventh consecutive month, Assad’s forces and their minions have resumed their futile attempts to reclaim the city of Daraya by sending tanks and military vehicles while shelling indiscriminately. Nevertheless, the remaining people of Daraya took to the streets today after Friday prayers. The demonstrators stressed that the revolution will carry on as will their demonstrations. They also demanded the armament of the FSA, the fall of the regime and the just punishment for its criminals.
Meanwhile, clashes and sniper operations were renewed on most combat fronts especially the western and eastern fronts. The city was also bombarded by the tanks located along Jedaidah-Sahnaya Road and Daraa Highway. Intermittent clashes broke out around the alleged Sukaina Shrine while regime forces bombarded the surrounding areas using mortar and RPG rockets. Helicopters continued to fly over the city and mutual sniper operations were recorded in Aljamiaat area and around Liberty Square.
*** 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.
