Omran Daqneesh
Omran Daqneesh (, born 2011) is a Syrian boy who, at age five, gained media attention after footage of him injured appeared on the Internet following a reported air strike. History Daqneesh was injured on August 17, 2016, in an alleged Russian Air Force strike on the rebel-held al-Qaterji neighbourhood of Aleppo, Syria. Video footage from the Aleppo Media Centre showed an unarmed man, who appeared to be a rescue worker, carrying Omran from a damaged building to an ambulance. He was taken to a hospital known as M10, which was supported by the Syrian American Medical Society. A surgeon who treated Omran said there was "blood on his face from a wound on his forehead". A doctor said Omran was suffering from shock and required stitches for his head wound. Doctors found no apparent signs of brain injury, and he was discharged hours after being rescued. In August 2016, Omran's relatives said they were afraid of government reprisals and declined to speak. After his family crossed into government-controlled territory, Omran's father was interviewed by Iran's Al-Alam News Network in 2017. His father said Omran only suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital needlessly after "gunmen" took him
