US-led coalition strikes killed 27 civilians in part of Syria’s Raqqa city held by the Daesh, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said on Monday.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tSeven children were among the dead in the Sunday strikes that “hit the densely-populated Al-Badu area in the center of the city,” the observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said on Monday, AFP reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tOnce a terrorist stronghold, more than half of Raqqa city has been taken by the Syrian Democratic Forces, an alliance of Kurdish and Arab armed groups that entered the city in June.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe SDF is heavily backed by the US-led coalition, which has regularly launched airstrikes that have reportedly killed scores of civilians.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the Britain-based observatory, at least 125 civilians have been killed in a week of US-led strikes on Raqqa city, including those who died on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\t“There are civilians killed each day in coalition strikes… the closer the fighting gets to the densely-populated city center, the more civilian deaths there are,” Abdel Rahman said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe coalition, which operates in both Syria and neighboring Iraq, says it takes all possible measures to avoid civilian casualties.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn August, it acknowledged the deaths of 624 civilians in its strikes in Syria and Iraq since 2014, but rights groups say the number is much higher.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe UN’s humanitarian point man for Syria, Jan Egeland, has said Daesh-held territory in Raqqa is now “the worst place” in the war-torn country.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe UN estimates there are up to 25,000 civilians trapped inside the city, with food and fuel supplies short and prohibitively expensive.<\/p>\n

\n\tTens of thousands of civilians have also fled the city, risking Daesh sniper fire and landmines in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
