#Daily_News_Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in #Daraya, Damascus
10/02/2014
***Headlines***
One death and a number of injuries; 4 Barrel bombs hit the city; intermittent clashes and sniper operations; heavy artillery shelling; 14 months of siege cause an absence of life necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
4 barrel bombs have been dropped on Daraya by Assad’s helicopters causing the death of Yasser Abu Sameer and several medium to serious injuries. The total number of barrels dropped on the city so far has reached 250 barrels which have killed over 30 people and brought about total devastation to Daraya’s neighbourhoods.
The western front in the city received intermittent mortar and heavy artillery shelling from Fourth Division Mountains. The city’s combat fronts witnessed small-arm skirmishes and sniper operations on both sides.
***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.
