News Anchor Breaks Down While Reporting On This
Haunting Photo Of A 5-Year-Old Bombing Victim
“This
is Omran. He’s alive. We wanted you to know.”
In the following clip, CNN anchor Kate
Bolduan tears up while reporting on a heartbreaking photo from Aleppo, Syria.
The image and footage of a little boy
named Omran Daqneesh is going massively viral. It’s a haunting and disturbing
representation of the current war in Syria. In the photo, Omran is covered in
blood and dust, wearing a Nickelodeon T-shirt and silently waiting for medical
attention. The image was captured after his home was destroyed by an airstrike
on August 16, 2016.
Omran lived in the Syrian city of
Aleppo with his mother, father, brother and sister. Miraculously, everyone in his
immediate family survived the bombing.
In the live footage, Omran is seen
wiping his face and looking down at the blood on his hand before a civil
defense worker carries him into an ambulance.
The Aleppo Media Center, where Omran
was treated, said he was in extreme shock, hence his eery stillness and silence
throughout the footage.
After an hour of digging through the
rubble, Omran was reportedly one of the first bombing victims pulled from the
massive destruction.
Compared to the injuries sustained by
many of the other victims, doctors say Omran was one of the lucky ones.
Thankfully, Omran has since been
released from the hospital and is recovering, along with his family. His story
is drawing cries for peace from people all over the world.
