#Daily_News_Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in #Daraya, Damascus
07/10/2013
***Headlines***
Fierce battles between FSA and regime forces; violent rocket and heavy artillery shelling; siege continues causing acute shortages in all necessities of life
*** Recent developments on the ground***
The city of Daraya was shelled today by heavy artillery and rocket launchers. The shelling which originated from Fourth Division Mountains and Daraa Highway targeted the western area and the Old Corniche. Meanwhile, clashes broke out in the vicinity of Sukaina ‘Shrine’.
Regime helicopters conducted overflights over the city
*** 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.
