The image of Omran Daqneeshsat in the chair of an ambulance, dazed, bloodied and covered in dust after being pulled from the rubble of a building, has moved people across the world.
By yesterday evening, the internet memes of Omran have started appearing online.
The heartbreaking image of the three-year-old Aylan washed ashore in Turkey, after he drowned during the unsafe boat journey to Greece depicts another reality for Syrians – escape is not an option. Syria’s children deserve to live in peace, he added.
Nearly a year after the world was haunted by the image of the three-year-old Syrian boy Alan Kurdi who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, another image of a young boy has captured the horror of the ongoing war in Syria. Sitting quietly, the boy wipes his hand on the seat. “Not unconscious, but traumatised – lost”, said Mahmoud Abu Rajab.
According to a nurse who treated the fearless boy, he did not shed a single drop of tear until he saw his parents.
Omran was rescued with his three siblings, aged one, six and 11, along with his mother and father from the rubble of their destroyed block of flats.
The brother of the Syrian boy whose dust-covered picture has captured the world’s attention, has died from injuries relating to Wednesday’s airstrike in Aleppo, Syria.
Ms Bolduan was sharing details about the five-year-old and the state he was in following the airstrike.
Trapped civilians are enduring hunger, power cutoffs and airstrikes by Russian-backed government forces, and medical care is harder and harder to come by.
