Summary (09/11/2012)
At least 126 martyrs were reported today, mostly in Damasus, Aleppo and Deir Ezzor, where shelling killed at least 20 people in the town of al-Quriyah. With the FSA taking over Ras al-Ayn but expecting a regime counter-attack, and anti-regime protesters in Kobani being attacked by the PYD (Kurdish branch of PKK), predominantly Kurdish areas in the North and North-East look increasingly divided and increasingly restless. Meanwhile, 11,000 Syrians reportedly fled the country in the last 24 hours, while aid organisations are mostly failing to help the estimated 2.5 million people currently in need, which the Red Cross predicts will incease to 4 million people in the next few months. The SNC has elected a new leader – George Sabra – but does this even matter anymore? See the map for more info.
Summary 08/11/2012
At least 123 martyrs were recorded on Thursday, mostly in Damascus and Aleppo, parts of both now resemble other bombed out Syrian cities like Homs and Deir Ezzor. The most serious fighting has begun in a predominantly Kurdish area, with the FSA attacking Assad’s forces in the town of Ras al-Ayn on the Turkish border. Video has emerged suggesting the FSA engaged in the protracted fighting for the town of Haram, Idlib province, have engaged in atocities. Meanwhile the Red Cross admitted it is unable to deal with the growing humanitarian disaster, while local groups say much aid coming from the main donors and large organisations is being stolen or channelled to regime loyalists and is not reaching those most in need.
