Heartbreaking image of Syrian boy shocks world

These images are shocking and horrifying, but sadly these aren't isolated incidents - this is daily life for children in Syria.

Heartbreaking footage of a five-year-old boy pulled alive from his collapsed home amid Syrian airstrikes has caused outcry around the world.

The haunting image of Omran Daqneesh was taken after an airstrike in the rebel-held district of al-Qaterji.

It shows the dazed and confused youngster covered in dust seconds after being rescued from what used to be his home. He is then placed alone in the back of an ambulance as the rescue operation continues around him.

Desperate medical staff have called for a ceasefire to get the most injured out of the besieged city.
