Karima Khaled Sleiman el Saffar says 34 members of her family were killed when a bomb demolished their home.

On June 13, 2017, as the battle against Islamic State (IS) raged in the Iraqi city of Mosul, Ms el Saffar sheltered with 34 members of her family inside their two-storey house.

Iraqi troops outside reportedly called in an airstrike on a group of IS fighters.

Two RAAF F/A-18 jets responded, dropping laser-guided bombs.

The Australian Defence Force concedes they may have hit the el Saffar family home.

"All of a sudden we heard a powerful sound," said Ms el Saffar, who is now 27 years old.

"We were on the ground floor when all of a sudden the upper floor fell on us. It was just after the airstrike.

We started suffocating, we could hardly breathe. I tried hard to get some oxygen from a hole just to get some fresh air to breathe.

She tried to escape, but it was "impossible" to reach the door through the fire.

"It was out of reach. I tried hard to make my way," she said.

"I eventually with great difficulty reached the street and I heard voices of people.

"I was desperately shouting for help. Most fortunate, neighbours came by and saved me by taking me to their home.

"They did first aid emergency help quickly and we left."

The US-led Coalition estimates between six and 18 civilians may have been killed in the attack.

Ms el Saffar's family has provided a document to the ABC which lists the names of 34 victims, including 11 children. Two of the dead were girls aged four and five.

The Coalition forces said the warplanes were targeting a group of seven IS fighters.

In a statement, the Australian Defence Force said aircrew made no error in the mission, and all authorities for the strike were valid and lawful.

It said Daesh [Islamic State] "deliberately and deceptively caused civilian casualties by concealing non-combatants under fighting positions and exposing their fighters to induce Coalition airstrikes".

Ms el Saffar has no doubt the Coalition warplanes targeted the wrong building.

"There was no sniper on the rooftop of the house. The way the house is, we cannot imagine that a sniper could as simply as that stay at the rooftop," she said.

"They would rather go up the (taller) buildings, not a house like that.

"There was no Daesh fighter on our rooftop. We were all living here under the same roof, no one was on that roof, I can tell you. Otherwise, we would have known."

Ms el Saffar said she had "lost my family, everything" since the bombing.

She is now trying to continue life.

Her medical studies were stalled while IS held Mosul for three years, but she has returned to college, and is determined to graduate as a doctor.
