Daily Report

Helicopters, tanks, and mortars are still targeting several areas in Damascus suburbs and new war crimes are being committed daily. The international community and its weak declarations bring no justice whatsoever to all these martyrs falling every day. The humanitarian conditions in the suburbs are really difficult with lack of food, water, power, gas, and other basic needs. Many of the towns and villages in the suburbs are suffering further because of the siege imposed by the regime’s security and army forces. Assad’s forces arrest people randomly and displace families. In spite of violence and bloody oppression, peaceful protests are still held in several parts across Syria condemning the massacres and calling for toppling the criminal regime.
