***Headlines***
Artillery shelling targets the cities of Daraya and Muaddamiya; helicopter overflights; tight siege continues causing acute shortages in basic necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
The city of Daraya was targeted by heavy artillery shelling which hit several areas. Combat fronts in the city witnessed cautious calm interrupted by sniper operations.
The city of Muaddamiya was also shelled by heavy artillery and mortar. The shelling targeted the northern front where clashes between regime and FSA forces broke out.
Meanwhile helicopters conducted overflights over both cities.
*** Humanitarian situation***
After 10 months 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.
