Syrian girl Aya, wounded, cries for her baba (daddy) (her family is located later)

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/11/world/syria-wounded-girl/






It's another haunting picture of a wounded child from Syria. This one has also gone viral on social media.

The video and images were posted online by a pro-opposition activist group, Talbiseh Media Center.

It shows an 8-year-old girl in a medical facility, her hair and body covered with dust. There's blood tricking down her forehead, her nose. She looks confused and scared and keeps calling out for her father.

Off camera, a man talks to her, asking for her name.

"Aya" she replies, crying.

"Where were you when this happened?" the questioner asks.

"At home but the roof fell on us," she replies, looking around for her father.

"Oh Daddy... Daddy, come," she cries.

God damn it. This election can't come soon enough.

some insiders family or friends must be victims of Assad, and they should kill this POS. The sooner the better, or many more civilians will be killed in the crossfire.
