The footage was filmed after a series of airstrikes devastated a Syrian suburb, with one hitting this little girl’s home. She’s defied all of the odds and survived, as she is pulled out of the wreckage by a group of men.

She’s lucky to be alive, but you know in your heart of hearts that it’s highly unlikely that her family’s fate would have been the same.

It’s likely he doesn’t know yet or in the worst case scenario, he may know the worst. We only hope that her family did survive just as she did.

This really does bring tears to your eyes.
