Understanding the quiet thing moves people more; Aylan Kurdi's frozen body lying on the beach shook the world. Now the picture of the silent Omran Daknish has moved. Five-year-old Omran is sitting in an ambulance. There is blood on the head. Dusty-gray body. Blood clots on the face. Omran is impassive. But his pictures are circulating in different countries, in the timeline of various people on the internet.
The picture proves that Omran is a war-torn Syrian child. They live in the city of Aleppo. Their homes were destroyed in an airstrike on Wednesday (August 18th). Omran was rescued from the rubble and placed in an ambulance chair. Almost the entire family of Omran was injured in that incident. Even Omran's elder brother Ali, who was injured, died on Saturday. Ali is a child, only five years older than Omran.
Although Omran was calm, the doctor shed tears, the news presenter cried, the world was shocked. Omran has no childish agility, no bloodshed; Maybe he is trying to understand how cruel the world is. They are not safe anywhere at home or at sea. Innocent children are helpless to the cruelty of the world. But she cried when she saw her parents in the hospital. Otherwise, how can Omran mourn so much.
This is the daily routine of Syria. More than 14,000 children have died in the clashes there. In Aleppo alone, four and a half thousand children have died in the last five years. When this horrible picture of Omran is spread on social media and world media, people are tweeting, this is not a picture or a television show, this is the reality of the Syrian people. Some say we are not human beings after this incident, where world leaders are playing with death.
When social media is loud, the BBC is asking, can social media save Syria's children? Can social media protect Syrian children? The BBC says from the picture of Omran, Omran is not the first. The BBC has discussed a few more children in Syria. Ghina Wadi is one of them. Ghina, a 10-year-old child, went out to fetch medicine for her mother and was shot. The government initially did not allow him to go out of town for treatment.
The humanitarian catastrophe that is happening in Syria year after year is unacceptable
There is a fight over this through social media. Under pressure from Amnesty International and the United Nations, he was finally allowed to go abroad for treatment. While the world media is vocal about the Omran incident, Russia's military says it can call for a ceasefire in the conflict-torn Syrian city of Aleppo at the urging of the United Nations.
Whatever the media, there must be a force. But the humanitarian catastrophe that is happening in Syria year after year is unacceptable. British newspaper Guardian surgeon said. As David Knott writes, Omran's picture must be a turning point in the war in Syria. We want that too. No one wants to see this barbarism day after day. Torture of innocent children is not acceptable in any way. The silent picture of Omran also says that.
Wonderful
