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.
