Syria: The image that captures the drama of three girls after a bombing has turned the world upside down

An image captured by photographer Bashar el Sheikh of SY24 digital support, from Syria, has become viral on social networks. The photo impacts of itself. He recorded the tragedy of three girls after the bombing of Bashar al-Assad's regime on Wednesday.

The picture shows Riham, five, holding Tuka for seven months, about to fall, while Dalia, by his side, seems to be trapped under a cement pile.

Behind them, on a mountain of rubble, the father of the girls screams and puts his hand on his head, helpless in front of the drama.

Little Riham pbaded away shortly after this picture, while the baby girl and her sister Dalia were hospitalized in Idlib.

"Tuka was injured in the head. He was on artificial respiration for 24 hours and is now in intensive care. His condition is stable, God willing, "said Dr. Ismail at SY24.

"Dalia is in a stable condition after being operated on for a chest injury," said Dr. Mohamed, of the same hospital.

Violent context

The Syrian government on Saturday launched another attack on a busy open-air market in a city that is the last stronghold of rebels in northwestern Syria.

The city of Ariha has suffered further attacks from the government, especially last week, at a time when Syrian government forces stepped up their offensive against the rebel stronghold launched in April. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the war, and another group of activists called Ariha Today, said the majority of the victims were children and minors. Ariha Today has named six children under the age of 14 who, according to the organization, would have died during an air raid.
