'Britain claims a 'perfect' war against Islamic State in Iraq,' says _EmmaGH, co-author of a new guardian/airwars report on civilians killed by U.K. airstrikes. 'It isn't credible, and it isn't true.'
Enam Younis, 31 at the time, was thrown to the ground by the blast and has never walked again. Her older daughter, Taiba, 6, inquisitive and desperate to start school, was killed instantly. Zahra, just 3, was hurled over a fence. She survived but was peppered with shrapnel that tore into her stomach and is still lodged deep in her skull. Doctors have said that if it moves, it could cause devastating brain injury.
There was a third child, Ali, a toddler too young to walk, who was shielded from the drone cameras—and the worst of the blast—by his mother's arms, but who still lost part of a foot and hand. Younis was taken out of Mosul for treatment and even six years later, her memories are too painful for her to return to the city she called home."It is still impossible for me to think about going to Mosul now," she said weeping."I didn't even visit my daughter's grave. I can't do it.
"The U.K. always minimizes the risk of civilian casualties through our rigorous processes and carefully examines a range of evidence to do this, including comprehensive analysis of the mission data for every strike," the spokesperson toldPoliticians, campaigners, and civil society groups have consistently raised concerns about the U.K.'s lack of civilian harm monitoring and accountability in Iraq and Syria.
