***Headlines***
Cautious calm prevails interrupted by mutual sniper operations; sporadic artillery shelling causes a number of injuries; siege continues causing acute shortage in all supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
This morning, a military convoy left Al-Mazzeh Airport heading towards the city including 4 tanks, 2 BMP vehicles, 3 armoured vehicles, 9 DShK trucks, as well as several troop carriers, ambulances and pick-up trucks. The city witnessed intermittent artillery and mortar shelling originating from the barracks around the city.
Most of the city’s fronts witnessed cautious calm interrupted by mutual sniper operations. Meanwhile, the western front was shelled from barracks on the Fourth Division Mountains and tanks located to the west of the city.
***Today’s fallen heroes***
Omar Abu Ahmad died as a result of wounds caused by the shelling a few days ago.

*** 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.
