Media Section

Casualties:
Two casualties were reported in the Dar’aa province on Tuesday.
Ground Situation:
The town of Bosra Al-Harir has entered its fourth month under siege. For 91 days regime forces have occupied the town, preventing food, water, medicine, medical help, electricity and telecommunications from the residents. Regime forces continue to shell homes, shoot residents, and loot and burn homes and private property.
At least 23 violations to the Annan plan were reported in Dar’aa on Tuesday, thirty two days after its enactment.
More than 15 demonstration points were also reported.
The towns of Al-Harrak, Da’el and Al-Lajah were shelled by regime forces, coupled with heavy gunfire on residential homes.
Two young men were kidnapped in the village of Al-Mujaimar, as well as several young men in the town of Bosra Ash-Shaam.
Assad forces are still holding on to dozens of bodies of Dar’aa residents and refusing to hand them over to their families. There is a severe shortage in food and fuel, and an ongoing suffocating siege of all towns in Dar’aa, including disconnection of utilities and telecommunications.
