Once more, a striking image of a vulnerable Syrian child has dominated newspaper front pages and sent emotional shock waves around the world.
Omran Daqneesh, a five-year-old boy from Aleppo, was able to break through “audience fatigue” and move millions around the world with footage of him being brought out from under the rubble of his home, covered in dust and blood. His blank stare ahead, carrying the trauma of a war that is as old as he is, put to shame those who stand by as the conflict rages on.
About the Author
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). ~ Quran 49:13
