Brother of Aleppo Boy in Ambulance Dies

Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh sat in the back of an ambulance, dirty, dazed, and bloodied on Wednesday night after an airstrike hit his family's home in Aleppo, his haunted expression going viral to put a new face on the boundless suffering of the Syrian civil war that's as old as he is. Omran is recovering, but his 10-year-old brother, Ali, died Saturday of injuries suffered in the same airstrike, reports Reuters. "He was martyred while in hospital as a result of the same bombardment," a local council rep says; Ali suffered internal bleeding and organ damage. Omran's mother and sister are still in the hospital recovering, adds Time. (More Omran Daqneesh stories.)
