The city of Nawa was heavily bombarded by the regime forces  killing and wounding many citizens, destroying a large number of buildings and  infrastructure, and forcing the rest of the residents to flee and seek refuge  at the city of Tal Shihab.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most of the displaced citizens are living in a school at the city of Tal  Shihab now, and the rest resided in the outdoors of the surrounding farm fields  around the city, while others stayed at the outskirts of the valley of Yarmouk.  The living and health conditions of those IDPs are extremely bad and deteriorating  causing many infections and contagious diseases to spread such as scabies and  lice. In addition, those IDPs are suffering from Malnutrition, lack of food,  water, and sanitation especially in the absence of any health aid or relief  support as well as due to their poor financial situation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As DCHRS monitored the 5000 IDPs, DCHRS concluded other findings as  follow: The city of Nawa\u2019s approximate population is 100,000. 70,000 of them  were displaced to different surrounding cities such Ibta, Jasim, and Hasm. These  cities were also bombarded by the Syrian regime as the regime intentionally  target civilians, fleeing refugees, and IDPs.\u00a0  DCHRS documented yesterday indiscriminate shelling against two schools  containing many IDPs in the cities of Ibta and Hasm. However the IDPs of the  city of Tal Shihab have the worst humanitarian situation among all other  cities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">DCHRS calls the Syrian Government and its forces to respect the laws of  Human rights and the international humanitarian laws which prohibit targeting  civilians in populated areas even in armed conflicts. Also DCHRS requests  facilitating the arrival of relief and medical staff to the affected areas and  to the IDPs everywhere, particularly the IDPs in the Tal Shihab city. Furthermore  DCHRS calls all the Syrian and international medical and humanitarian  organizations to go immediately to the city of Tal Shihab in order to provide  assistance to displaced people there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damascus \u2013 24\/07\/2013 &#8211; The Damascus Centre for Human Rights Studies  monitored the humanitarian situation of- five thousands displaced Syrians from  the city of Nawa.
