Syrian boy in haunting photo reunites with parents

An image that circulated last week of Ali’s 5-year-old brother, Omran, temporarily cast new worldwide attention on the conflict and the siege in Aleppo.

A photo circulating online showed a wounded and unconscious Ali Daqneesh hooked up to a hospital ventilator.

Omran Daqneesh, the traumatized 5-year-old survivor of airstrike in Aleppo, has become the face of desolation of the war In Syria.

Ali Daqneesh, 10, was wounded in the air strike on Wednesday alongside his three siblings, his mother and his father.

The BBC reported that fighting between the Syrian Government forces backed by Russian Federation and rebels has created a warlike situation in the city and has left hundreds dead.

At another hospital, one child, a woman and an elderly man died from the attack, according to Mohammad, a surgeon in Aleppo who treated Omran and asked ABC News not to publish his last name due to safety concerns.

The video shows the boy being carried out of a damaged building by a medic and then placed on a seat in the back of an ambulance, covered in dust and with a blood-covered face.

“Ammar Hammami said: ‘The media reaction was because the strike on the Qaterji neighbourhood was a big massacre so when this child emerged there were lots of journalists”, said.

Kate Bolduan was anchoring a segment on air strike at Aleppo being aired on CNN.

Syrian opposition activists said the airstrike killed eight people, including five children. He suffered head wounds, but no brain injury and was later discharged.

At the time, I think we all thought that that has to be the most hard of choices: either stay in Syria, stay under the bombardment and the barrel bombs, stay inside the besieged zones or leave and risk the sea, risk the crossing, risk that your child is not going to make it to the other side alive.

On Friday, the World Food Program described the situation in besieged areas as “nightmarish” amid growing global concern over the humanitarian cost of the war in Syria.

As conditions across Syria worsen, Save the Children is calling for a 48-hour ceasefire in Aleppo to allow aid convoys to access besieged areas, getting injured children out and bringing supplies in.
