Doctor in Aleppo on Thursday identified the boy as Omran Daqneesh.
Syrian opposition activists have released haunting footage showing a dazed and bloodied child pulled out from the rubble left by an airstrike in Aleppo, and the video was shared widely on social media on Wednesday.
In the YouTube video posted by Aleppo Media Group, the stunned and weary looking five-year-old boy is sitting in an orange chair inside an ambulance covered in dust and with blood on his face.
The child is not crying, but wait quietly in the Ambulance and he is wearing a t-shirt with the popular cartoon character CatDog on it, barely visible through the blood and dust.
Doctor in Aleppo on Thursday identified the boy as Omran Daqneesh. Osama Abu al-Ezz confirmed he was brought to the hospital known as “M10” Wednesday night following an airstrike on the rebel-held district of Qaterji with head wounds, but no brain injury, and was later discharged.
Telegraph correspondent Raf Sanchez tweeted Omran’s pictures sent by the doctor from the hospital. The doctor told Telegraph’s Middle East correspondent that four other children, one woman and two young men were also hurt in the attack on the Qaterji neighbourhood.
So far, more than 3,00,000 people were killed and millions have been displaced in Syria’s civil war. The country is also struggling to treat patients as many hospitals are bearing the brunt of the bombings.

Doctors are correcting that his name is Omran, not Omar. #Aleppo

Just ask, Who were the instigators of the Syrian genocide? It should be obvious to anyone who pays it attention and thought that the Syrian “rebels,” with their extensive supplies of weaponry, such as anti-tank missiles, and a complete command structure, had state supporters. The state supporters include NATO members, U.S., Britain, and Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The plan was to topple Arab dictators in the Arab Spring, including Libya, Egypt and then Syria. Hillary identified herself as the she liberator of Libya when she said of Gaddafi, “We came, we saw, he died.” The Benghazi episode was about weapons trafficking of the Libyan military arsenal through Turkey into Syria, with the eventual help of Egypt’s replacement leader, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi.
What was the U.S. role? Sibel Edmonds says the U.S. was the director and producer of the play. Remember Obama and NATO member Britain overthrew Gaddafi, and Obama wouldn’t wait for the scheduled elections in Egypt. He insisted Mubarak step down immediately and elections immediately, with the expected result that the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsi would win election. When Obama spoke in Cairo, he had insisted that members of the Muslim Brotherhood, outlawed in Egypt after the assassination of Anwar Sadat, be given front row seats. There he identified himself as a Christian, yet included a curious parenthetical in his description of the story of Isra: “when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them) joined in prayer,” and referred to America as having a partnership with Islam (not Egypt). And at the UN Obama said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
The Obama administration admitted in congressional testimony that it funneled over 600 tons of weapons to Islamist fighters in Syria. From one article (WSJ): “The utter failure of Western policy in both Libya and Syria has to be seen for what it is: not just a political blunder but a humanitarian crime.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrEPadG0pQk
