***Headlines***
2 Barrel bombs hit the city; clashes and shelling on the eastern front; 14 months of siege cause an absence of life necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
2 barrel bombs have so far been dropped on Daraya by Assad’s helicopters. The bombing targeted the southern area and the vicinity of Abu Suleiman Al-Darani Mosque causing more destruction in the buildings of that area.
The eastern front in the city received several artillery shells as clashes broke out between the FSA and regime forces this morning. The city of Daraya has been the subject of a serious escalation which included dropping barrel bombs and explosive containers leading to overwhelming destruction throughout the city.
***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.
