Trump: Syrian victory in Raqqa is a “critical breakthrough”

• The devastation was "caused by weeks of fighting between Kurdish-led forces and the Islamic State group, and thousands of bombs dropped by the U.S.-led coalition," AP writes.
• Why it matters: "Entire neighborhoods are seen turned to rubble, with little sign of civilian life. ... The U.N. and aid organizations estimate about 80 percent of the city is destroyed or uninhabitable."
• Now, a humanitarian crisis is escalating.

President Trump issued a statement on the Syrian victory, saying it "represents a critical breakthrough in our worldwide campaign to defeat ISIS."

"Today, we reaffirm that ISIS leaders, and anyone who supports them, must and will face justice."
