This photo of a Syrian child holding her hands up will break your heart

PhotojournliastNadia AbuShaban tweeted a photo of a child in Syria holding her hands up in surrender, apparently believing the photojournalist present was holding a gun rather than a camera. It’s a potent look into the mind-set of the roughly 5.5 million children affected or displaced by the conflict, which has been raging in the region since March 2011

AbuShaban tweeted: “photojournalist took this photo 4 Syrian child, thought he has a weapon not a camera so she Gave up ! #Surrended.”
