A war. A little boy in shock. Governments consider it “collateral damage”. To me, this is something that must end.
Maybe the trending video showing the rescue of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh will make people stop for a minute and realize that this is what war really looks like. It’s not innocuous drone footage. It’s not a soldier ordered to battle another soldier. There are millions of innocent people caught in the crossfire.
Here’s a clip of a CNN anchor’s emotional report. “This is Omran. He’s alive. We wanted you to know.”
In the video provided by Allepo Media Center, Omran is seen touching his head then looking down at his blood covered hand and then he appears to try and wipe the blood off. Heart-wrenching to watch. You can see the complete video here: https://youtu.be/7cfBmRW3isc.
More now than ever: stay safe and take care of each other.
