This photograph has become the latest face of Syrian crisis
Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, another hapless Syrian, has become the face of the Aleppo airstrikes in Syria.
In the photograph, the visibly shaken and disoriented boy is seen sitting in an Ambulance, possibly unaware of the blood stains on his face.
The boy was taken to M10 hospital where he was treated for his injuries and cleaned up before being released.
The photograph, reportedly taken by a doc, went viral instantly when it hit twitter.

Aleppo Media Group – an NGo from Aleppo also uploaded a video of Omar showing him trying to gather sense of things happening around him.
The fight for Aleppo between Syrian rebels and President Bashar al- Assad has intensified in last couple of weeks.
Any way this picture shows the depreciation of life’s value in Syria. And this has been the case when people choose to stay back in the god-forsaken land. And is it any better when they choose to leave Syria?
We guess not!
