#Daily_News_Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in #Daraya, Damascus
14/09/2013
***Headlines***
Artillery shelling against #Daraya and #Muaddamiya; fierce and intermittent clashes; deaths among Assad’s forces in an FSA operation; helicopter overflights; tight siege continues causing acute shortages in basic necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
The daily routine of artillery and rocket shelling against the cities of Daraya and Muaddamiya continued today as the latter city received much higher number of shells due to the fierce clashes on the northern front. Violent fighting also broke out along the south-eastern and south-western fronts in Daraya. Meanwhile, a group of FSA fighters attacked regime locations around Liberty Square using light and medium weapons. As a result, a number of regime fighters were killed and ammunition was set on fire. Elsewhere, on the south-western front in Daraya, at least 3 regime fighters were killed and others were wounded in the clashes. Regime helicopters also conducted a number of overflights.
*** Humanitarian situation***
After 10 moths of tight siege on the two neighbouring cities of Daraya and Muaddamiya, the need is ever more urgent for essential supplies like food, medicine and even potable water. All power, communications and internet services have also been cut off.
The displaced people from both cities continue to suffer in the western suburbs of Damascus due to continual shelling, security forces harassment, and arrest campaigns launched by regime forces. Inside Damascus, security forces are cracking down on most displaced people especially those who come from Daraya or Muaddamiya.
