Diary of the bloody civil war in Syria

Silence fills Aleppo, a Syrian city, perched on a tiny mountain near the desert. The strong afternoon sun heats up the stone and the residuals of the abandoned ruins that used to be houses of happy families. Every now and then, the silence is interrupted by sequences of gunfire audible in the distance. Within a few days, the once so peaceful city has turned into a place of violence and hopelessness. The atrocities of the syrian civil war have invaded the city and caused thousands of victims. Many people were forced to leave their homes behind. In the middle of all this, a boy limps over traces of broken glass and scrap metal. He wears no shoes. Shorts and a ripped shirt barely hide the scarves and blood all over his body. His soft small face is covered with dust and his big black eyes are filled with tears. The kid is nine-year old Ashid. He, just as many other children has become an orphan ever since his parents were killed in a bomb attack on their house.
