Aleppo: Two young boys, covered in dust, embrace each other tightly, wailing loudly in grief, after their brother was killed in an airstrike in Syria.

This video comes just days after the photo of a bloodied little boy, Omran Daqneesh in an ambulance after the airstrike went viral. The picture became the face of the Syrian crisis and was considered equally disturbing as of a three-year-old Alyan, whose body was found on a beach in Bodrum, Turkey.

United Nations Seceretary-General Ban Ki-moon last week warned of an unprecedented “humanitarian catastrophe” in Aleppo.

He has also urged Russia and United States to come to a conclusive deal on ceasefire in the city.
