17/06/2013
***Headlines***
Intermittent clashes on several fronts; helicopter and warplane raids; rocket and artillery shelling causes one death and a number of injuries; siege continues causing acute shortage in all supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
For an eighth consecutive month, Assad’s forces have resumed their futile attempts to reclaim the city of Daraya by sending tanks and military vehicles from Al-Mazzeh Military Airport. Intermittent clashes broke out on several fronts especially the western front during which the area was shelled by tanks located along Jedaidah-Sahnaya Road. Other clashes broke out in the area between the cities of Daraya and Al-Muaddamiya during which the area was shelled from Fourth Division Mountains. Helicopters and fighter jets continued to fly over the city while some neighbourhoods were shelled by heavy artillery causing several injuries. One person from Daraya was killed during battles in the Eastern Ghuta.

*** 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.
