Omran Daqneesh, the boy became a symbol of Syria's humanitarian tragedy, photographed again. As it looks, a year after the attack in Aleppo

Last year, a five-year-old, dusty and blood-swollen son, became the symbol of the Syrian humanitarian tragedy after being photographed just minutes after he had escaped from an air raid. Today, new pictures of the little Omran have been released and the baby looks good and healthy, the BBC writes.

About a year after the pictures were published with the wounded boy in Aleppo, new images appeared with Omran Daqneesh. On Sunday, he was photographed in his new home town, which is now under full government control, according to the BBC.

In interviews with pro-government journalists, Omran's father complained that the picture of his boyfriend was used as "propaganda."

Mohammed Daqneesh told a reporter from Iran's Al-Alam television that the Syrian opposition and the international press wanted to use Omran to attack President Bashar al-Assad.

Daqneesh said he was in the house with his five-year-old son when they were hit on August 17 and added that Omran suffered only minor injuries and that the blood on his son was dropped from one of his wounds. The photo with Omran Daqneesh, a five-year-old Syrian boy full of blood and dust, looking fixed, confused and hopeless, soon became the symbol of the Syrian humanitarian tragedy. The boy was photographed just a few minutes after he escaped from an air raid that destroyed the apartment where he lived with his family in the Qaterji district of Syrian Aleppo.
