A Syrian boy’s photo and the degradation of values
The photograph of Omran Daqneesh, the Syrian boy who was pulled from rubble in Aleppo, has made headlines across the world. There’s nothing like the Syrian tragedy and Omran’s photo is a symbol. It is a story that sums up what’s happening in Syria. Omran sat quietly on the chair in the ambulance, shocked and unaware of what was going on around him as his eyes gazed into nothingness. This is what immortalized the photo and why it is significant. According to a nurse, the child did not shed a single tear until he saw his mother and father.
