Daraya massacre marks 14 years
On the anniversary of the Darayya massacre that occurred in August 2012, the city in Damascus countryside recalls intense sieges and horrific shelling that resulted in the death of 713 civilians, including 508 documented by name, amidst field executions and widespread destruction. The campaign began on August 20, when regime forces cut off communications and electricity, and launched fierce bombardments using tanks, mortars, and missiles. The blockade and invasions continued for weeks, with survivor testimonies documenting mass killings and burials in mass graves. The siege and destruction persisted until the complete occupation of the city, which led to the displacement of Darayya's residents to other areas, amid a deteriorating humanitarian situation and ongoing violations over the years.
