Syria: US Airstrike on Refugee Camp kills 80 Civilians

The US-led international coalition’s airstrikes on a refugee camp in Syria’s southeast had killed or injured at least 80 civilians in two days, the state-run news agency SANA reported.

The US-led international coalition has conducted airstrikes on a camp next to the Syrian village of Baguz, Deir-ez-Zor province, killing about 50 people.

The strike comes after the Syrian Foreign Ministry reportedly blamed the US and the US-led coalition of crimes against humanity in connection with massive air strikes on the Syrian village of Baguz in February that killed dozens of civilians.

The US-led coalition has recently stepped up its airstrikes in the Syrian town, which is one of the last pockets of territory held by the terrorists.

Syria and Iraq have become a foothold for the US-led coalition of more than 70 countries to conduct military operations against ISIS. The coalition’s operations in Syria have not been authorized by the government of President Bashar al-Assad or the UN Security Council.
