The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the safety of more than 400,000 people in Ar-Raqqa, Syria, amid daily fighting and airstrikes. "In past weeks, civilians have been exposed to daily fighting and airstrikes which resulted in an escalating number of civilian deaths and injuries as well as damage to civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, markets and water infrastructure," UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at news briefing.
On Sunday, an airstrikes on Atabaqa City reportedly killed eight people including five children and damaged two schools, Dujarric said. "On April 22, dozens of people were reportedly killed and injured in airstrikes on an IDP (internally displaced persons) camp near Albardah village, 20 kilometers west of Raqqa," Dujarric added.
Recently, some 39,000 displaced people fled to the Jib Al-Shaair makeshift camp in Ar-Raqqa governorate.
The UN has also received reports of the deaths of several children due to lack of medical care at the Jib Al-Shaair and Al-Karma camps and of critically injured people and sick children who are in need of urgent medical assistance.
