A striking picture of a 5-year-old girl grabbing her dangling sister's T-shirt after air strikes in northern Syria is making rounds on the social media, reports BBC.
The girls' horrified father is shown scrambling to rescue his daughters from a building's rubble after government bombing of the town of Ariha in Idlib on Wednesday (Jul 24).
"He [the photographer] couldn't see anything at first because of the rubble and dust - but then he heard the sounds of babies, children, and the father," BBC News quoted Syrian media outlet SY-24.
It has brought attention back to the war in Syria, where the Russian-backed government is trying to recapture Idlib from rebels and jihadists.
The UN said last week that more than 350 civilians had been killed and 330,000 forced to flee their homes since fighting in northern Syria escalated on Apr 29.
According to BBC, journalist Bashar al-Sheikh filmed the family trapped in the rubble when covering the air strikes on Ariha, before stopping to help them.
Moments later, the building collapsed, further injuring the trapped children, five-year-old Riham and seven-month-old Tuqa.
The girls were freed from the ruins and after being taken initially to a local clinic, they were transferred to a larger hospital in Idlib.
Riham died from her injuries and her baby sister remains in the intensive care unit, BBC quoted SY-24.
Their father has been identified as Amjad al-Abdullah, from Ariha. His wife, Asmaa Naqouhl, was killed at the scene.

Regime airstrike on the local market in Ariha town in rural Idlib kills two and injures a number of others.
