Earlier this week, a harrowing photograph of a little boy sat alone in an ambulance, wounded and covered in blood and dust went viral.

Five-year-old Omran Daqneeshwas injured alongside the rest of his family when their home was hit by an air strike on Wednesday night.

Tragically, it has now emerged his big brother, Ali Daqneesh, 10, has 'died of injuries' in hospital.

The boys' father, Abu Ali, said Ali was playing outside with his friends when the strike happened.

He told the Telegraph: "It is very painful to watch your children falling in front of your eyes."

Awfully upsetting news.

RIP, little Ali.
