7.8 Magnitude Earthquake in Turkey

New Posts

I'm really worried about this little boy that was hurt in air raids in Aleppo several years back.
He was featured on the frontpage of many international papers with blood on his face. One of his brothers did not survive.
Last picture I saw said he was happy in Aleppo, this was a few days before the earthquake,
His name is Omran. Please post if you see anything!
Probably wearing a brown/ beige coat and blue hat <3 <3 <3

I remember Omran (Daqneesh). He stole my heart and my heart broke for him and his family as well. I too recall that one of his brothers did not make it. :(

There is a Wikipedia page for Omran but its not been updated.

I wonder if he has any relatives to go to...?
I saw the other little one born in the rubble was taken in by their uncle.
As heartwarming as it is to see these tiny survivors, I wonder how many there are and if they can all be found by relatives, adopted etc...
His little face when he was found will stay with me for a long time, he looks so hopeful and trusting!
