25/01/2014
***Headlines***
14 barrel bombs; a number of deaths and injuries; intermittent artillery shelling; clashes; warplane and helicopter overflights; 14 months of siege and an absence of life necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Assad’s helicopters have dropped barrel bombs on the city of Daraya while warplanes and helicopters conducted frequent overflights over the city. In total, 14 barrel bombs were dropped on combat fronts and residential areas which caused a number of deaths and injuries among civilians and fighters.
The city was also the target of artillery shelling from Fourth Division Barracks and checkpoints along the Daraa Highway. The shelling targeted residential areas in the south and east of the city.
FSA fighters continue to advance in the battle they named ‘Wa Basheri Sabireen’. The fighters engaged regime forces in the eastern area.
***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.
