Incredible moment bloodied and screaming child is pulled alive from rubble in Aleppo after latest round of deadly bombing
Lad rescued by White Helmets heroes in Bab al-Nairab neighbourhood in rebel-held east of the besieged Syrian city
SHOCKING images have emerged showing yet another bloodied child being pulled from the rubble of his home in Aleppo.
The little lad, who looks no older than ten, is seen ashen-faced and coated in dust as he is dragged screaming from the ruins by rescuers.
Syrian civil defence volunteers, known as the White Helmets, rescued the boy following a reported barrel bomb attack on the Bab al-Nairab neighbourhood in the rebel-held east of Aleppo.
It is not known what the child’s condition was, or if he survived the airstrike.
Other harrowing images showed another boy being carried from the building who is believed to have been killed in the blast.
Rescuers could be seen standing around the lad’s limp body, which they had laid on the floor.
And last week, video emerged of a seemingly lifeless little girl being dragged from underneath the debris of another collapsed home in the besieged city.
Amazingly after being rushed to a nearby medical centre, the schoolgirl quickly recovers and after washing dust out of her eyes she tells the cameraman her name is Khadija.
Amazingly, the girl seems to escape with only a nosebleed – although many other kids in the city are not so lucky.

Meanwhile, it emerged today that Syrian rebel groups in besieged eastern Aleppo have agreed to a UN plan for aid delivery and medical evacuations.
But the UN is waiting for a green light from Russia and the Syrian government, humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland said on Thursday.
Some 275,000 people are trapped in the rebel-held part of the city, where the last UN food rations were distributed on November 13.
Trucks are ready in Turkey and western Aleppo to bring aid, but the organisation needs 72 hours to prepare the "big, complex and dangerous operation".
Egeland told reporters: "We hope to have a full green light from both the Russian side and Syrian government side.
"The signal today from the Russia side was positive.
"In many ways Plan B is that people starve. That cannot be allowed to happen."
