"This is Omran. He's alive. We wanted you to know." CNN anchor Kate Bolduan gets emotional and started crying while reporting on this heartbreaking photo from Aleppo, Syria
His name is Omran Daqneesh. The picture of him, bloodied and secured with dust, sitting quietly in an ambulance awaiting help, is another stark indication of the toll of the war in Syria.
He is young -- one witness puts him at five years of age, as old as the Syrian war itself. In any case, his rotund arms and legs and the way he sticks to the man who pulled him from the rubble of his bombarded out home propose he is younger, possibly still a little child.
He lived with his mom, father, sibling in the Syrian city of Aleppo, a contact on the ground tells CNN.
He and his family were harmed when their home was decimated by an airstrike Wednesday. Miraculously, everybody in his close family survived. Activists accuse the Syrian regime and Russia for the bombings.
Aleppo, in northern Syria, has been attacked for quite a long time amid that nation's affable war. A great many individuals have been murdered there, including 4,500 youngsters, and numerous lives have been overturned.
Omran's family is among them.
