The combat fronts in Daraya witnessed relative calm interrupted by sniper operations on both sides and light-weapon skirmishes. Clashes broke out on the northern front in Muaddamiya as regime forces attempted to advance. Meanwhile, helicopters conducted overflights over the two cities.
*** Humanitarian situation***
The humanitarian crisis continues to deepen as the siege goes into a 10th month.
The city of Darya is suffering from dire shortage necessities like food and medicine, a complete absence of clean drinking water and flour, and a complete blackout of electricity and communications.
