#Daily_News_Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in #Daraya, Damascus
30/01/2014
***Headlines***
20 barrel bombs; 11 deaths; heavy artillery shelling; fierce clashes; 14 months of siege and an absence of life necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Assad’s helicopters renewed their intensive raids against the city of Daraya since the early morning. Twenty barrel bombs have been dropped on residential areas in the city centre during the day. The bombing caused one of the houses to collapse completely killing 10 people inside including 5 children and two women. The victims who belonged to the family of Sayid Suleiman were lifted out of the rubble. An infant who is less than one year old was also critically injured.
Another barrel bomb caused the death of Ammar Abu Suleiman and several injuries. Massive destruction was also brought about by the barrel.
An initial toll of the last three days shows that Assad’s helicopters have dropped over 60 barrel bombs on the city. The escalation came after the regime offered ‘reconciliation’ with Daraya’s rebels. The Syrian opposition in the Geneva conference are too busy to lift a finger regarding the serious escalation in Daraya.

***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.
