An Arabic workbook belonging to a Syrian child who was still trapped under the rubble. Attempted rescue operations just moments before a new body was pulled out. A Syrian man examines the body of his brother’s grandchild. Salah Al-Naasan, who lost his daughter-in-law and three grandchildren - including the one seen in the previous photo, the one pulled out of the rubble in the earlier video, and the unborn child of his pregnant, lifeless daughter-in-law.
