Why this Syrian child’s photo broke hearts on the internet
The Syrian child who surrendered to the camera.
A first glimpse at the picture hardly speaks of the image. But the caption that followed has sent Goosebumps to users of the World Wide Web. The picture was reportedly taken at a Syrian refugee camp by Turkish journalist Osman Sagirli, but it took the internet by storm when photojournalist Nadia AbuShaban tweeted it.

— Nadia AbuShaban (@NadiaAbuShaban) March 24, 2015Seemingly a four-year-old, the Syrian child is pictured 'surrendering' after mistaking a camera for a gun. With a straight face and fearful eyes the toddler stares into the lens with pursed lips.
An Imgur user provides a translation of the newspaper excerpt and a name for the child: "His face suddenly drops. He squeezes his bottom lip between his teeth and gently lifts up his hands. Where he remains like that without a word. It is not exactly easy to cheer the child who thought the camera was a machine gun about to strike him. Adi Hudea, only four years old, lost his father in the Hama bombing. He came to Camp Atmen on the border of Syria/Turkey with his very nervous mother and three siblings."
Everyone on Twitter poured their hearts out over this photo:
What could I do to help the #syria war to stop? I never cried so much seeing an image #syrianchild. Something tell me i have to do my part!
