ISIS launches urgent blood donor appeal to treat wounded fighters

U.S. and partner nations conducted three air strikes in Syria and six in Iraq since Sunday which followed 56 bombing raids by Jordan in retaliation for the murder of its pilot.

The attacks have reportedly killed dozens of jihadists and left many more seriously injured.

In the terror group's de facto capital of Raqqa, fighters are understood to be calling for residents to give blood to treat their wounded comrades.

Anti-ISIS activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RIBSS) claims people are being urged to donate regardless of their blood group such is the need to replenish stocks. 

It is not the first time ISIS has adopted such measures. 

Last month, a pregnant teenager who was captured by Islamic State militants has revealed how girls are being forced to give blood transfusions to keep their attackers alive.
