2/ 📌From 2002 to March 2025, Airwars tracked 258 civilians allegedly killed by U.S. strikes in Yemen.

In just eight weeks of Trump’s Operation Rough Rider, at least 224 people were killed - nearly doubling the civilian toll from U.S. actions in Yemen

Of the confirmed civilian harm incidents in Iraq, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen, just a handful of families have requested condolence payments.

They have waited a long time - but have not given up.

Organizations like mine are eager to support efforts to make this happen.

Both families have requested condolence payments from the US military.

The Department of Defense receives $3 million/year from Congress to make payments for civilian death & injury.

A group of NGOs, including Zomia, has sent the Secetary of Defense a letter describing this as part of his legacy.

Professor Ziad Khalaf Awad was killed in an April 2016 U.S. airstrike in Mosul.

His wife Maha Khalil Ali says, "We want to pursue this case so it could be a message that they should not underestimate the lives of the innocent, civilian people."
