At least 85 civilians - including woman and children - were killed in the war ravaged country yesterday.

Among them were up to eight families, who were fleeing from fighting amid one of the deadliest alliance strikes since the start of the US-led military campaign.

Buried under rubble and shrapnel from the blast, children as young as three lay in blood soaked clothes in shocking pictures taken in the aftermath of the strike on the ISIS-controlled village of Tokhar in northern Syria.

The town has been rocked by US airstrikes after coalition-backed Syrian Democratic Forces launched an offensive in June.

More than 1,400 innocent Syrians have been killed in airstrikes the fight against ISIS, according to international air strikes monitor Air Wars.

The House of Commons last year voted to join airstrikes in Syria to defeat ISIS, but former Prime Minister David Cameron came under fire for offering no road map for a peaceful future in the country.

Less than 24 hours later, RAF Tornados jets joined the attacks, pummelling the Omar oil fields in their first strike.

Since then the Ministry of Defence has claimed UK airstrikes have killed nearly 1,000 enemy combatants - but not a single civilian.

Meanwhile, critics said UK supported airstrikes would only bring the bloodshed of further innocents to the country.

Chris Wood, director of Air Wars, branded the claim as "ridiculous".

He said: "Even with the widespread use of relatively precise weapons by the West, air strikes are the most lethal weapon against civilians. It would be unprecedented in the history of warfare for it not to have killed civilians."

Now, following months of bombing, these heartbreaking images reveal the human cost of the fight against Islamic State also known as Daesh.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes appeared to have been carried out in error - the innocents mistaken for ISIS militants.

They said 11 children were among those killed in the strikes as they fled from the town - nine miles north of Manbij - on Tuesday morning.
