Taken at the Atmeh refugee camp, image of 4-year-old Hudea frozen in fear with her arms raised and her lips tightly pursed
This is the picture of the Syrian 4-year-old
girl, Hudea, who broke millions of hearts after she quickly raised her arms in
a surrendering gesture to a camera she mistook for a gun.
4-year-old Hudea, was pictured late last year by
photographer late last year by photographer Osman Sagirli in Atmen refugee camp
just 10km from the border with Turkey.
She, her mother and three siblings are
understood to have been living in the Syrian camp since Hudea's father was
killed in the 2012 Hama massacre.
But two weeks ago, the family took a fateful
decision to move south, towards the city of Idlib - only for it to fall into
the hands of Al Qaeda's brutal Syrian affiliate at the weekend.
It means, once more, the family are in danger of
becoming victims of a battle between the regime and rebels which has killed
220,000 since 2011 - 10,000 of whom were children.
Seeing this picture just broke my heart. Just hope and pray God keep Hudea safe.
