Russian Federation denies involvement in Aleppo attack that wounded boy

Metro UK observed that at five, Omran is as old as the Syrian conflict itself, which also means that the child has known nothing else except the struggle of living in the war-ravaged Aleppo, which used to be the largest city in Syria.

The image of Omran Daqneesh, the young Syrian boy sitting quietly in an ambulance, bloodied and covered with dust, is another vivid reminder of the toll of the war in Syria.

Russian Federation said on Thursday that its strikes by warplanes based in Iran hit areas held by the Islamic State jihadist group in Deir Ezzor province, the third day of raids from the Hamedan base.

The boys’ father confirmed that his 10-year-old son Ali succumbed to his injuries in a hospital, activists in Aleppo said.

And a nurse, who gave his name as Mudar, added: ‘He’s (Omran) not the only one, there are lots of children who are injured or killed under the bombs and no one is focused on them.

Activists said that multiple airstrikes targeted the opposition-held neighborhood of al-Qaterji late Wednesday evening.

Omar’s three siblings (ages 1, 6, and 11) survived, as did his mom and dad. None sustained major injuries, but the building collapsed one hour after the family was rescued.

“All Syrians, and me, thank the world for their feelings of sorrow, but why don’t you help us to find peace”, asked Aisha, a mother of two who fled the city after barrel bombings intensified but who still lives in the countryside near Aleppo.

A photo and video of him looking dazed in the ambulance quickly went viral across the world on Wednesday, many calling him an iconic face of violence resulting from the Syrian war.

Omran Daqneesh, a boy covered in dust and blood, was rescued from the rubble of a building which was bombed in an airstrike in the war-hit country, Syria. He runs his hand over his face and looks at the blood before wiping it on the seat.

The video shows two other children brought to the ambulance, and then two adults, who were taken to a hospital already swamped with casualties.
