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

A young boy, aged five, sits on a chair inside an ambulance after an airstrike in his hometown of Aleppo, the whereabouts of his parents unknown.
Covered in dust from the rubble which was once his home, one side of Omran Daqneesh's face is drenched in blood, his expression dazed.

Alone: The whereabouts of the boy's parents is unknown
Footage shows him wiping his dusty forehead with his hand, before realising he is bleeding, and he rests his hands back in his lap
The child is not crying, but waits quietly as his rescuers leave the ambulance to save the lives of four other children, before taking them all to the hospital
He is wearing a T-shirt with the popular cartoon character CatDog on it, barely visible through the blood and dust
Footage shows him wiping his dusty forehead with his hand, before realising he is bleeding, and he rests his hands back in his lap.
