The five-year-old boy who became the focus of Syria's suffering after a video of his bloodied face went viral has been reunited with his parents.


Images of Omran Daqneesh emerged ahead of urgent calls from the UN for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo to allow food and medical supplies to get to the millions of civilians trapped by the war.

 

Russia has agreed to support the move.
