12/02/2014
***Headlines***
One death and 2 injuries at least; 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 been dropped on Daraya’s southern area where small to medium-arm clashes broke out between the FSA and regime forces. The same area was the target of heavy artillery shelling from batteries located in Regiment 153, the tanks surrounding the city, and Shelka anti-aircraft machineguns.
The city lost fallen hero Imran Abu Usaid as two more people were injured as a result of the continuing shelling against the city. Several buildings were also severely damaged throughout the city.
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.
