Airwars assessment
In what has been described as a massacre, between 50 and 70 civilians were reportedly killed – mostly women and children according to local media – by US-led Coalition airstrikes on Al Baghouz camp. In addition to this, “dozens” were reportedly wounded.
Sources described “devastating bombs of enormous proportions” which bombarded the vicinity in the early hours of Monday morning.
Arabic RT News reported that coalition spokesman Sean Ryan, told the Russian news agency that “We do not see any evidence of casualties among civilians, and we take very seriously all the news about the civilian deaths”… “We are taking very serious measures to avoid civilian casualties,” he added.
The Coalition denied allegations, despite all sources attributing blame to them.
The civilians were allegedly trapped in the last enclave under the control of the Daesh.
According to Sana News, “the aggression targeted dozens of families while trying to escape from the areas where Daesh terrorists are positioned”, and that “according to the sources, the death toll is likely to rise as most of the wounded sustained serious injuries.”
The incident occured around dawn.
