28/01/2014
***Headlines***
Intermittent artillery shelling; clashes; 14 months of siege and an absence of life necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
The city was also the target of artillery shelling originating from the Fourth Division Barracks, Regiment 153 and checkpoints along the Daraa Highway. The shelling targeted the eastern area of the city while the FSA engaged regime forces in clashes that involved light to medium arms.
***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.
