Press TV - Syria has called on the UN to halt the US led-coalitions attacks on civilians after over a dozen people are killed in separate airstrikes across the country.
In aletter sent to the UN Secretary General Antnio Guterres and the Security Council chairman on Sunday, the Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministryvoiced its severe condemnation of the coalitions actions against civilians.
In the letter, Syria slammed the many parties who claim to care for the rule of law and human rights but turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the coalition in the provinces of Raqqah and Dayr al-Zawr.

At least six people also lost their lives when a residential area of al-Daij village in the Hasakah Province was hit by US-led fighter jets.
The US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.
The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of achieving its declared goal of destroyingDaesh.
