(heart Touching Photo) Syrian Girl's 'surrender' To Cameraman by Sapeleboy(m): 11:57am On Apr 12, 2015 |
I don't Know if this topic is already on NL but you really need to see this..... Mob please help move to the right section. A young girl's frightened face has captured the hearts of social media users across the globe. The image shows a 4-year-old Syrian girl holding her arms in the air. According to BBC Trending, the youngster is surrendering to the photographer capturing her on film. She thinks his camera is a gun. The photo was taken at Atmeh refugee camp in Syria, the report says: It began to go viral Tuesday last week, when it was tweeted by Nadia Abu Shaban, a photojournalist based in Gaza. The image quickly spread across the social network. "I'm actually weeping", "unbelievably sad", and "humanity failed", the comments read. The original post has been retweeted more than 11,000 times. On Friday the image was shared on Reddit, prompting another outpouring of emotion. It's received more than 5,000 upvotes, and 1,600 comments. Internet users initially thought the girl was a boy. Some folks assumed the image was fake, BBC Trending wrote. The publication interviewed the photographer, Osman Sağırlı. "I was using a telephoto lens, and she thought it was a weapon," he told BBC Trending. "İ [realized] she was terrified after I took it, and looked at the picture, because she bit her lips and raised her hands. Normally kids run away, hide their faces or smile when they see a camera." He says he finds pictures of children in the camps particularly revealing. "You know there are displaced people in the camps. It makes more sense to see what they have suffered not through adults, but through children. It is the children who reflect the feelings with their innocence." 3 Likes

It's sad. I saw the picture last week; it's disheartening. The little girl...see the fear written on her face. At that tender age, when she should be giggling at the camera man, she's raising her hands in surrender, apparently braced for death. The world is becoming sadder and tiring by the day. What a pity! 1 Like |
