“The intense bombardment of Al-Raqqa over the past three weeks has reportedly left civilians terrified and confused about where they can seek refuge,” Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein says in a statement, cautioning that “up to 100,000 civilians are effectively trapped as the air and ground offensive intensifies.”
