14/07/2013
***Headlines***
Four martyrs, one of them tortured to death and a number of injuries; rocket and artillery shelling; intermittent clashes on several fronts; 8-month-long siege causes dire shortages in all supplies
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Early this morning, regime forces targeted a house using artillery shelling; three people died and many others were injured. Also Omar Abou Fadi, 55 year old detainee, was tortured to death in detention where he was deprived of food and beverages.
The city witnessed artillery shelling from tanks located at surrounding checkpoints and from Fourth Division Barracks in Muaddamiya Mountains. The shelling targeted western and southern areas.
As usual, a military convoy from Al-Mazzeh Airport headed towards the eastern entrance of city. The convoy included tanks, armoured vehicles and troops. Intermittent clashes took place at Liberty Square while tanks were shelling residential houses. The southern front witnessed intermittent clashes; other fronts witnessed cautious calm interrupted by mutual sniper operations and RBG and B10 shelling.

***Humanitarian situation***
The 8-month long siege has been causing acute shortages in medical and food supplies as well as a complete blackout of electricity, water and communications.
Thousands of civilians including women and children are still trapped inside the city in dire need for the basic life necessities. The city has been without bread for over two months due to the absence of flour.
Hundreds of wounded persons including young children, under 1 year old, are in extreme need for medicine and medical care. Field hospitals are simply not capable to meet all these needs amid these tragic circumstances.
