***Headlines***
Regime forces attempt to sneak into the city; heavy-artillery and tank shelling; dreadful humanitarian and living conditions
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Regime forces attempted to sneak into the city through the western front; 15 soldiers broke through farms near Ashrafiyat Sahnaya. FSA fighters repelled the attempt and killed 3 regime soldiers at least; other soldiers retreated while some of them were injured. Regime forces retaliated with heavy artillery shelling targeted several areas. Tanks tried to create an opening for the regime soldiers to escape but their attempts were thwarted by the courageous FSA fighters.
Minor skirmishes were recorded on the remaining fronts interrupted by mutual sniper operations while regime locations were bombed with B10, RPG and homemade bombs.
***Humanitarian situation***
The city is going through impossibly difficult humanitarian and living conditions amid a tight siege that has been in place since the start of the current campaign. The city is completely without potable water, electricity, flour and is running extremely low on medical supplies.
The displaced people of Daraya are also suffering horrific living conditions in the areas where they live amid high prices and severe shortages in supplies.
