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

Absolutely heartbreaking seeing that poor little boy left on his own after surviving the bombing. Was there no one who could have sat with him and comforted him?. No they just film and take photos of him. I understand that the world needs to see what is happening but it just broke my heart. I'm glad to hear that he is back with his family.

I jus can't my heart is aching

It's heart breaking. How can we just sit and not do something about it!

I'm a tough old horse, but that picture has literally reduced me to tears.I thunder against immigration usually...but PLEASE bring that poor little boy to the UK.I am totally in tears here looking at that.

I jus can't my heart is aching

Syrian refugees yes... Free loaders from the rest of the the world no. We need to take women and children from that area now. Just want to hug and hold the poor soul

the gall of all you commenters asking someone to do something about this while repeatedly supporting the actual perpetrators of this bombing, Assad and Putin.

These kids need to be taken in by families and integrated in the West, NOT men in their 20's and 30's who are capable of fighting for their country!

Created in god's image huh ? which god? Because the God we need would be nothing like us!

And still everybody thinks people are escaping the country because they are scroungers.

Bring him to this country before the poor little fella gets indoctrinated with medieval religion.

Obama is a weak president, red line was crossed still he did nothing, roll on November, even Hillary has more balls.

The US and the UK armys need to fight on the ground where they can see who there killing. Taking out Isis is one thing but killing baby's and kids it shouldn't be happening just look at that boy just sitting there we need to get the children out of there why ain't these kids being brought to England and put in safe homes with family's that care until it's over safe or some think

literally tears in my eyes for these kids... oh, he just tugged at my heart strings. i would give anything to wrap these babies in my arms and just coddle them. these kids have seen so much more than any child should ever see or go through. oh, to wish we could scoop up all the children and let them keep their innocent ignorance throughout their childhood.

Putin should be forced to stare at that picture everyday for the rest of his life...I doubt it would get to him

So much for the UN ...as useless as the League of Nations...Hope Assad is happy killing and maiming his own people and displacing them around the world....The Yanks and the British should of kept their nose out of the middle east....

M

As a mum I just want to pick him up and hold him and somehow make him feel safe, no politics no race no religion just a child in need.

There are thousands of kids like this in obamas big book of death

This is so distressing to see. I just want to hold those little children and reassure them that every thing will be alright....IF ONLY I COULD.
