#Daily_News_Roundup: Field, Medical and Humanitarian Situation in #Daraya, Damascus
19/02/2014
***Headlines***
4 Barrel bombs hit the city; heavy-artillery shelling; 14 months of siege cause an absence of life necessities
*** Recent developments on the ground***
Assad’s helicopters have dropped seven barrel bombs on the city centre and the western area in Daraya today. Meanwhile the city was subjected to heavy-artillery shelling originating from Regiment 153 and Fourth Division Barracks located on Muaddamiya Mountains.
The recent weeks have witnessed a serious escalation in barrel bombing and the dropping of massive explosive containers which have brought about widespread 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.
