In his last
news story for RT Arabic, journalist Khaled Alkhateb talked to
refugees from Raqqa who spoke about the death and destruction caused
by coalition strikes. The 25-year-old was killed Sunday in a shelling
offensive by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria.
"The
coalition bombed schools and civilians. That’s why our children do
not go to schools now. Many civilians were hurt, as it [coalition]
hit both schools and hospitals," Abu Amdjad told Alkhateb,
who worked with RT Arabic last week.
The man was
among many other civilians who had been forced to flee Raqqa. In
their home town, not a single government building was left unscathed
from the coalition airstrikes, people told the reporter, saying that
the US-led coalition bombed every building, claiming that IS
terrorists were hiding there.
Alkhateb
reported from the Syrian city of Hama.
A fourth
grader told the journalist that the coalition forces bombed his
school and "deprived us of the opportunity to study."
"There
were refugees from Aleppo and other areas inside the school during
the raids. Many of them died as a result of these airstrikes,"
the boy said.
