Prominent International Human rights organizations such as Amnesty International have called on the US led coalition to acknowledge responsibility for civilian deaths during the bombing campaign in the Syrian city of Raqqa. More than 1600 civilian lives have been lost due to thousands of airstrikes by US, UK and French forces. Air strikes by the US during the coalition’s military campaign in Raqqa from June to October 2017 were also particularly devastating for the civilian population, however, the coalition forces have refused to take responsibility. According to Donatella Rovera, Senior Crisis Response Adviser at Amnesty International “Thousands of civilians were killed or injured in the US-led Coalition’s offensive to rid Raqqa of IS, whose snipers and mines had turned the city into a death trap. Many of the air bombardments were inaccurate and tens of thousands of artillery strikes were indiscriminate, so it is no surprise they killed and injured many hundreds of civilians.” Chris Woods ,Director of Airwars, a non-profit organization that worked alongside Amnesty International to document the collateral damage as a result of coalition airstrikes , said that “The Coalition needs to fully investigate what went wrong at Raqqa and learn from those lessons, to prevent inflicting such tremendous suffering on civilians caught in future military operations.” The researchers spent two months on the ground in the city of Raqqa, carrying out investigations at strike locations and interviewing more than 400 witnesses and survivors. They were able to directly verify the names of 641 victims, and there were very strong multiple source reports for the rest, Amnesty International said in a statement.
