The sho‌cking images shared online show that Riham al-Abdullah, 5, is holding hands with his younger sister Tuqa, 7 months old, on the side of the house collapsed due to a missile hit in Ariha, Idlib province 24/7.

"Children, don’t fall down", the father named Amjad al-Abdullah cried with a desperate face.

Neighbors and volunteers of the Syrian Civil Defense Organization (SCD) quickly teamed up to rescue Riham and Tuqa from concrete segments. However, Riham was killed in the hospital due to severe injuries and the girl was in critical condition and treated in the intensive care unit.

SCD staff saved another person from the ruins of the house but the mother of two children, Asmaa Naqouhl, was also killed at the scene.
