Aljazeera: Iraq: ICRC camera drone captures damage in Ramadi
Homes, schools and hospitals crumbled to rubble shown in dramatic scenes captured by an ICRC drone camera.

The US-led coalition carried out more than 600 air strikes in the area from July to December last year.

A good many of the videos you post from various outlets are unwatchable in the US without proxies. It's very bothersome. Al Jazeera is one of the biggest offenders, in that respect.
Maybe use some of that influence of yours to convince them to clean up their act. ;)
