The photo that shocked the world: Horrors of war-ravaged Syria exposed by image of wounded boy, 5, sitting alone in an ambulance after a deadly airstrike

This is not about taking anyone in. Yes Europe is full, but have some sympathy for this poor child!

easy for you to say. you are safe at home, being arrogant because of that feeling of safety, when these invisible people live and die before actually living.

How about demanding it be stopped? How about the world ask those children get safe passage out of Syria and let Assad the monster get on with his heroic war games.

Shame would be with the neighbouring countries not helping before we are expected to.

Propaganda or not ... it is real and happening and all you can do is make a snide comment.

Whether it's propaganda or not, he is a child paying the price for Assad's inhumanity to his own people.

Assad didn't start the civil war in Syria.... we (the western powers) did

In hell I'd imagine.

And there's the whining remoan voter. You lost, get over it and stop blaming everything on the result of a democratic vote

Oh please give it a rest on the Brexit bashing. It's getting old now. I was a staunch Brexiter but I have a heart and it breaks for this poor innocent little boy. Stop trying to blame Brexit for everything. This has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

WTF?

Yes very true. My post with a similar message was removed by DM.

Wondered how many comments before i read the migrant card would be played

People you are being played by the media and whoever pays them. Do you think it's an accident that these sob images are being passed around now that the public in Europe has turned against these migrants?

exactly its just for bleedin hart liberals to get more immigrants. we voted brexit to stop this kind of mind washhing!!

Nothing would surprise me any more!! But if it is real........it is so sad.

JimW, I was under the impression you voted Brexit to get out of the EU. Syria has nothing to do with the EU. We already have our own rules on who we can take in/ reject. My concern is why the United Nations was set up. I am quite wrongly of the opinion that they should have intervened at an early stage to stop the war by threatening all parties if they went to war. World peace should be the over-riding factor for the United Nations to prevent anything even close to World War 2 from happening again. Unfortunately, all the nations have failed to do the right thing.

No we're not!

Ok you house a few of them if you feel so strongly, war is hell people die

We are full! and it won't be kids like this entering, it'll be fully grown IS men that come over take all they can and form factions within this country, its a miracle how we havent been attacked like France but it will only be a matter of time! then we'll be sorry for opening the gates to anyone

You obviously never did geography at school! We are only a small island! Sad as it is, we can't keep taking in people, there are plenty of other larger countries that could be helping. You should try thinking before writing comments!

No we are NOT accountable for this and yes we are full, the fact of the matter though is we are helping these children and other children from countries such as Iraq, we just can't take half the male population running away leaving these poor children to fend for themselves. So really get your facts right we are taking in young unaccompanied Asylum seekers.

Kids grow up

This kid isn't Muslim, he's kid. And its everyone's problem

" sent to the open arms of the Muslim countries in the Middle East " . . They don't want them !!

Of course it's our problems. No one else is dropping horrific ammunition from the sky other than us, Americans and Russians. WAKE UP.

Its not my problem! - these images are shown constantly in civilised countrie's to make us feel sad & the rest of it . We Are a small island and we are crippling with pressure from others problems !! Yes i was a " brexiter' and im proud :))

You are so right ! Where is the Muslim nation outreach? Zero help. Your problem in Europe and USA is the welfare goodies that await these savages when they move in.

Of course it's our problem you clown. We created this mess following our meddling in Iraq and other countries in the area. We're also the ones selling arms to these countries.

YOU do it

I agree. He is FIVE years old. Poor little kid

That is not the answer! Countries closer to Syria should be helping these children!

Better still, let's send some of the men back to his country to fight for him.

Shut up

And the prize for the most stupid comment goes to you. Well done #Fool

My first thought!

If you don't trust what is written and shown, why bother even reading the stuff written here?

BS

No, this is REALITY for millions of people.

Shut the eff up

watch the footage mate. There's nothing fake about blood running down a child's face!!! FFS!!

What kind of human being are you? If that was your 5 year old child would you be saying the same?

YEAH BUT ~ Where's your Voice of humanity?

If this picture doesn't pull on your heart strings you have a serious problem

You are truly wicked

Not part of the human race obviously of course its staged real blood and dust you sick individual

pond life!!

Yes it is real and if you want I can send you much worst cases than this poor child.

Seriously?

We know nothing of his circumstances, but from the photo, I would deduce a wash, clean clothes maybe a couple of stitches and some plasters would cover his physical wounds.What lies beneath or behind the scenes is another matter. Yet another 'sensational' photo to manipulate the public.
