The little boy wipes blood from his face. He does not cry; he is in a state of shock.

The little boy is identified as Omran Daqnessh. He is only five years old. Omran was pulled out of a building during an airstrike in Aleppo, Syria. Omran only had a head injury, no brain damage.

The video of the little boy went viral. It was over every social media. The video was distributed by the Aleppo media Center.

The building that was completely destroyed was his apartment building. His family was rescued and only had minor injuries.

The five year civil war has brought the story of this little boy and many more horrific ones. Lives are taken, homes are destroyed and families are torn apart every day in this war.
