Syria- Omran's Brother Dies of Injuries in Hospital

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) Ali Daqneesh, the brother of Omran Daqneesh, the five-year-old who became the symbol of Syrian civilians in war-torn Aleppo on Wednesday, reportedly died on Saturday.

Ali, the ten-year-old attained severe injuries after he was injured with his brother Omran and his family members when an airstrike reduced his family's building to rubble.

'Ali was taken to hospital with his family members, but he succumbed to death on Saturday.' Activists in Aleppo said.

The UK-based Syrian Solidarity Campaign also reported the death of Ali, saying that the attack is a 'war crime' and calling for peace in Syria.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Ali's father said 'It is very painful to watch your children falling in front of your eyes.'

The touching photo of Omran on Wednesday epitomized the dire misery of the Syrian people after five years of war.

In August alone, approximately 142 children have been killed in Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
