The airstrike that destroyed the home of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh who was photographed after being pulled from the rubble has claimed the life of his brother.
Ali, 10, was not with his younger brother at home but playing with friends out in the street when the bomb fell on Wednesday. While his family sustained minor injuries when their home collapsed he was more seriously hurt in the blast.
It emerged today that he had died from his injuries in hospital. The boys’ father received mourners at his temporary home after news broke of the death.
Kenan Rahmani, a Syrian activist wrote online: “Omran became the ‘global symbol of Aleppo’s suffering’ but to most people he is just that – a symbol. Ali is the reality: that no story in Syria has a happy ending.”
