Sky News has obtained footage giving us a glimpse into daily life in Raqqa and the Islamic State’s strongholds. In the footage children play executions at schools, and reportedly are put on the front line in battles.
The group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) also warns Russian airstrikes are killing civilians and helping Daesh.
Sarmad, who is co-founder of RBSS, said: “The Russian airstrike and the regime were falsely stating that they were attacking the Daesh and destroying the locations of ISIS, when in actual fact they were harming the civilians.”
