This picture of a wounded Syrian boy captures just a fragment of the horrors of Aleppo

[Rob L 3,811]

Omran Daqneesh’s bare feet barely reach the edge of the chair as he sits alone in the back of the ambulance.

The five-year-old’s eyes are glassy with shock and he seems hardly aware of the blood seeping from a wound in his forehead.

The little Syrian boy was one of five children injured by a Russian or Assad regime strike in the Qaterji neighbourhood of Aleppo.

His photograph, which was shared thousands of times on social media, captures just a fragment of the horrors of Aleppo as it endures wave after wave of punishing airstrikes.

Omran was injured in a blast Wednesday evening along with four other children, one woman and two young men, according to an Aleppo doctor who asked not to be identified.

Video footage shot by the Aleppo Media Center shows rescuers pulling him from the rubble of a house and sitting him in the back of an ambulance. He does not cry but eventually raises a small hand to his injuries.

Omran was taken to the M10 hospital, which has itself been struck repeatedly by airstrikes.

Physicians there treated his head injury and cleaned off the dust that caked his hair, eyes, and clothes. He was released later that night.

Doctors at M10 said that around 12 other children all under the age of 15 were treated on Wednesday.

Would we get more traction on this if we said the boy couldn't get help because of Obamacare?

still no interest in Allepo?

It's beyond sad that, and how, the children have to suffer.

We need to get Trump elected so we can build safe zones in Syria. The Obama regime is partially to blame for this. Clinton is a disaster. She has horrible judgement and things will only get worse. The best way to save the children is to elect Trump.
