Aleppo, Syria— Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh sits in an ambulance after he was wounded during an airstrike by either Russian or Syrian government forces in the Qaterji neighborhood of Aleppo on August 17. The photograph and video of the dazed child wiping blood from his face quickly spread around the world, drawing fresh attention to the plight of children caught up in the civil war, which is now in its sixth year. According to The New York Times, Omran’s 10-year-old brother, Ali, died a few days later from injuries he suffered in the same airstrike.
