Omran is not the only child to have gone through such trauma. Many other buildings with children inside have come toppling down, Omran is just one of the most publicised. Far too many videos just like Omran's are out their circulating on YouTube and other part of the web. Not one of them will fail to bring forth an emotion, sorrow or anger, especially when the one doing the rescuing is in tears himself. Observe the video to the left.

Another popular trend surrounding Omran's photo is using editing software to place the picture of him in the ambulance into important conversations. Individuals do this to bring attention to the lack of action in regards to the events in Aleppo and other places in Syria. While Omran is a big topic in the news right now, as other children in Syria have been, not much action has come of it |

One little boy tried to take matters into his own hands. Six year old Alex wrote a letter to Obama asking if he could get Omran out of Syria to join his family and become his brother. Who though little boy would be one to take some action. |
