Omran was rescued along with his three siblings, ages 1, 6, and 11, and his mother and father from the rubble of their partially destroyed apartment building, according to Raslan.
Raslan rushed him to the ambulance, which transported him to a hospital codenamed ‘ M10’ to be treated for a head injury.
He is Omran Daqneesh, who is 5-years-old child.
Reports say the airstrikes on Qaterji has overall left eight casualities, which included five children. “Her ankle was pinned beneath the rubble”, Raslan said.
After Aylan Kurdi, the was who was washed ashore a Turkish beach a year ago, Omran has become the face of the horrific state of affairs in the war-torn Syria.
The boy then runs his hand over his blood-covered face, looks at his hands and wipes them on the ambulance chair.
“Yesterday one of our partners sent us a photo of another little boy”, she added.
Syrian opposition activists have released haunting footage showing a young boy rescued from the rubble in the aftermath of a devastating airstrike in Aleppo. He said he had passed along three lifeless bodies when someone handed him the wounded boy. The boy sits alone, stunned, before two more children are brought into the vehicle.
Kerry “continues to urge Russian Federation to work with him on a set of proposals that we agreed to in Moscow and teams are still trying to work out, try to get the cessation of hostilities to be more enforceable across the wide expanse of Syria in an enduring way”, Kirby said.
Doctors in Aleppo call hospitals by code names to avoid any infiltration by security forces in their medical network and safeguard the ambulances used to transport the patients.
Aleppo, split into rebel- and government-controlled areas, has become the focus of the fighting in Syria.
But neither side has achieved a decisive victory despite hundreds dead on both sides.
Aid convoys have not been able to access the city since, with fighting continuing as a coalition of Islamist militants including the former al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra try to open up a corridor out of besieged areas of the city. “They kill these people who are trying to rescue people”. Last year, a 3-year-old Syrian boy, named Aylan Kurdi was became the victim.

“Not one single convoy in one month has reached any of the humanitarian besieged areas-not one single convoy”, United Nations envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura, who chairs the task force and suspended Thursday’s meeting after just eight minutes, told reporters. “Today, the image of Omran is again stirring people worldwide to demand an end to the conflict”.
