#Daily_News_Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in#Daraya, Damascus
02/01/2014
***Headlines***
Four women and a child were injured; barrels of explosives dropped on residential areas; artillery shelling; warplane and helicopter overflights; more than one year of siege leaves all life necessities scarce
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Assad’s helicopters have dropped explosive barrels on residential areas in the city of Daraya for third consecutive day. Three barrels were dropped on the centre and western areas causing five injuries, four women and a female child. They were rescued from the rubbles of the destroyed building; their injuries ranged from moderate to severe. The attack resulted in large-scale destruction of residential neighbourhoods as well. Meanwhile, eastern combat front witnessed fierce clashes between FSA fighters and Assad forces using medium and light weapons.
***Humanitarian and living conditions***
The besieged people of Daraya have been suffering for over a year amidst a total lack of humanitarian, medical and food supplies. Over 6,000 civilians including 600 children and 50 new born babies are living inside the siege. The people have been surviving on whatever vegetables or herbs they can get. Unfortunately, large proportions of crops have been damaged by the current wave of frost. As a result, the siege is becoming ever more life-threatening due to hunger, cold and daily shelling including explosive barrels.
