Airwars: Digital advocacy tools
Strike Map
Since August 2014, the US-led Coalition declared the date and nearest population centre for 30,801 air and artillery strikes in Iraq and Syria against so-called Islamic State. During this time the Coalition admitted to causing over one thousand civilian deaths. In December 2018, without reason, it stopped saying where or when it bombed—making it impossible to know who is responsible for civilian deaths and injuries. Airwars has tracked and mapped every known strike. We ask the US and its allies. Reverse the decisions. Restore accountability.

Victim in Focus
The Victim in Focus feature on Airwars’ homepage tells the individual story of different alleged civilian casualty every week. The story is automatically generated from Airwars’ database of named victims, leaving researchers to add additional details and select an image when appropriate, before publishing to the site.
