Thread on the current situation in #Raqqa city, Syria ππ
Improvised explosive devices are littered across the city and surrounding neighbourhoods. In the first week of 2018, our teams in #Syria treated 33 patients with blast injuries from Raqqa. 13 of the 33 patients MSF treated were children. 
Since the active conflict subsided in Raqqa on October 17th 2017, our teams have received 271 people with blast Injuries, 64 were already dead or dying on arrival at our clinic doors. 
Residents of Raqqa want to be able to return safely to their homes. 
#MSF/#DoctorsWithoutBorders are calling on all warring parties, their allies, and de-mining organisations to increase mine clearance of peoplesβ homes and increase mine risk #education services to protect people from these avoidable deaths and injuries.
