They must have sat for hours on their chairs in the garden surrounded by their flowers, father and son they seemed so close, you could see the pain etched on the sons face, very sad indeed..I hope all of this craziness comes to an end soon.
The best documentary I've seen this far on the Syrian War. I hope the best for the kid and God bless his father's soul... الله يرحموا And I hope the best for Syria....
In a sense the Gardener became like a flower, a beautiful essence that is unique and fills the world with joy and hope. Only a beautiful soul like that can turn the sounds of war to that of music. Those are the people that make a difference the silent heroes. May his son find peace and love.
This gardener carried a great wisdom. I hope his young son can find solace with remaining family and friends. My heart is weeping, sharing his pain. In grieving, a new connection with the essence of life and death can flower. I deeply and truly wish courage and strenght to this child, and to all who are suffering from war, especially in Aleppo.
my god....this us truly fucking so sad. I hope the war stops and this poor boy can rebuild his once beautiful garden. I hope he finds the strength in love and not hate.
Dear Channel 4 News team. This video moved me, a retired librarian in Austria, so deeply, that I dreamed of a possibility to help in the region. Yesterday it was fullfilled, because Hassan Abo Ali, a young teacher, planted the first trees in the streets of Aleppo. Thousands will follow in the next years. They are a sign of peace and will bring hope for a better future. Thank you in the name of all, who will walk by and watch them growing.
"He gave up school to stay close to his dad " 😭😭😭😏 I'm in tears May Allah have mercy on his soul and guide the young boy through this horrible journey of life 😥😥
I know war is never fair, but that one.. What a beautiful soul, the both of them. I hope there is someone who takes care of his son, and that the war comes to an end soon. I wish there was something I could do for him.. Something to give him hope.. Even just a hug, or a shoulder to cry on. But there is absolutely nothing I can do. No child should have to endure the pain and difficulty he faces, no one. Each and every one of them, should wake up with a smile on their pretty little faces. May he make it through
Please tell me how the child is doing. May I know if he has family? Has he continued the tradition of tending to flowers and planting them? Does his community help him?
Udoby Break I am not sure what you mean even with your clarification. He is expressing grief and the anguish of losing his dad. Those are not indications of being "dead inside". No emotions, no expression, no tears, nothing behind the eyes... is being "dead inside"...
Father and son in Aleppo selling flowers. GUNS, BOMBS, DESTRUCTION, KILLING OF THE INNOCENT. This story is an illumination of light in this dark world. There is only one race!! THE HUMAN RACE. I feel totally sad and helpless. Love and piece to everyone. 🌈
Inna illahi wa inna illayhi rajioon....such a Heartbreaking report...why is the world ignoring the suffering of these people? you can see the heartache and pain in the young son's eyes. So sad...
It broke me heart I cried very much. I love them his son. Oh yes, I do. The wicked people destroying lives . God to protect the people left. Please bring this war to end now.
Our Facebook group helps Ibrahim and is family regularly. They are alive and now living in Idlib province. Our group is Il Gattaro D'Aleppo. It was Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel (the Catman of Aleppo) who found the family after the video was aired and who, with the help of our group, has been helping them since that time.
Here is a video about Ibrahim from December 2017 www.channel4.com/news/the-fall-of-aleppo-one-year-on and here is a picture of him receiving a new phone today. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/av-perfumes?fbclid=IwAR1JUgN0sJTF00aQ5y3JOJmk2WdMkKoA9QZjKPicfltfGvO0LOXW1M7dAJU People are still trying to help him and his sister.
.. in many they search him, with the help of Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel we found him, along with his brothers, including the little with the green dress that is severely disabled.

Allah have mercy on you Abu Wadd. And to the killers who wear suits in Damascus and Moscow, know that there will be justice someday. Not the sham at the Hague, but before the maker of all. May the stars shine down soon so we can be done with this nonsense. Too sickening
it is probably one of thousands such stories. no human should be killed by human because we are human. Afghanistan, iraq, Syria, Yemen, libiya ... it is religion and politics. human life has no value over the ideologies.
Our Facebook group helps Ibrahim and is family regularly. They are alive and now living in Idlib province. Our group is Il Gattaro D'Aleppo. It was Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel (the Catman of Aleppo) who found the family after the video was aired and who, with the help of our group, has been helping them since that time.
"Syrian regime"? Don't you mean the elected government of Syria? In case you hadn't noticed they are mired in a desperate war against head-chopping, heart-eating Takfiri insurgents, who're funded by the Saudi and Qatari regimes, armed by the US, and trained in Turkey. A bit of honest geopolitical context now and again would be a refreshing change, Ch.4. But I guess that would be too much to ask.
How can you watch something so emotionally powerful and 'pure' and come out with that comment? This is exactly the type of sociopathic nonsense which perpetuates these wars, which are often over nothing to begin with. Good grief, out of all that, your contribution is pedantry. Let's ignore the humanitarian crisis and make sure semantics are sorted out first... You're no doubt one of the cretins who gave this piece a thumbs down, because it doesn't fit your agenda.

Allah’s Apostle Prophet Muhammad. Said, “There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as a charitable gift for him.(Narrated by Anas bin Malik) Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “If the Hour (the day of Resurrection) is about to be established and one of you was holding a palm shoot, let him take advantage of even one second before the Hour is established to plant it.” (Authinticated by Al-Albani)
The reporter's name is Waad Al-Kateab. She has been doing a series of videos out of Aleppo, mostly of children and/or hospitals, most of which are viewable here: facebook.com/Channel4News/videos?ref=page_internal
As Maria Giovanna De Franco has said, Ibrahim and his mother, brothers and sisters have been located. If you want to help please go to Facebook and ask to join the group Il gattero D'Aleppo facebook.com/groups/1509943749305018
Thank you, I hope people notice it. We have already begun sending funds to help Ibrahim and his family. We are a small group but a caring one with no discussion of politics or religion but just how to help those innocent civilians in great need.
Ibrahim, his mother, and brothers and sisters have been found by Alaa (Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel) - our Aleppo ambulance driver friend! Here is the story of Alaa: syriadirect.org/news/a-crowd-sourced-animal-sanctuary-in-east-aleppo-teaches-compassion-%E2%80%98to-love-the-small-weak-cats-is-to-love-everything%E2%80%99 All the trees and shrubs for the cat sanctuary and the children's playground next door to the sanctuary were purchased (via a donation from one of the members of our group) from Abu Ward at his garden center before he died. Here is the message we received today from Alessandra Albidin who was from Lebanon but now lives in Italy. She is the founder of our group Il gattaro D'Aleppo facebook.com/groups/1509943749305018 Alessandra Abidin August 30 at 12:00pm "we found him !! He Is Ibrahim the famous baby in the video, the son of the last flower shop in Aleppo, he has all these brothers to maintain, and the girl with the green dress is severely disabled .. now I have the security that helps him arrive. Who want To help Ibrahim. In The First comment you find The video" Here is a picture of Ibrahim and his brothers and sisters (his mother is in mourning and choose not to be photographed). - Maria has posted the pictures. Please scroll down to see Ibrahim and his family. Alaa is happy to give to Ibrahim and his family whatever donations anyone wants to make to him and maybe one day reopen the garden center (which, after you join our group you can see in the video with Alaa and Ibrahim). So, if you still want to help this child and his family you will: 1. Need to join our Facebook group - Il gattero D'aleppo - facebook.com/groups/1509943749305018 2. To protect Alaa and keep away trolls it is a closed group so you will have to ask to join the group. Alessandra normally will admit you within 24 hours. If she is on one of her regular trips to Serbia or Turkey to deliver supplies to refugee camps it might take a little longer. 3. Once you are a member please read the FAQ's pinned at the top of the page (they are in several languages) which will explain much. 4. There are various ways to donate, including PayPal. You will need to private message Alessandra on Facebook to receive the PayPal information. 5. When you make a donation, particularly on PayPal, NEVER use the words Syria, Aleppo or anything similar because PayPal flags all those words as possibly being donations to terrorists. If you want to send money to Ibrahim just put his name in the comment area. You can also message Alessandra with special information on donations as did our member who donated the trees. 6. If you use PayPal for your donation click on "Send Money to Friends/Family" and NOT paying for an item. 7. If you have any questions just post to the group or send a private message to Alessandra. 8. In the group there is absolutely no discussion of politics or religion, which to me is quite a relief. Donations to Alaa are completely transparent. Alessandra will list names along with donations. She will show a picture of the total donations being sent the charity that Alaa works for. Alaa will acknowledge the donations and you will then see videos or pictures sent by Alaa showing him giving your donation to the person you designate. I joined the group (that's what we call ourselves) in December of 2015 and I had serious doubts because I am not a trusting person. At first I made a very small donation of 5 Euros just to see what happened. When I saw how transparent it is I started making monthly donations. At that time there were around 900 members and now we have over 4500 members from all around the world, including the UK, France, Spain, Italy, South Korea, China, U.S., Netherlands, South Africa, South America, Greece, Israel, and Russia. I'm certain I have left out many locations of our members. So this is a method you can use to help Ibrahim if you choose. His dream is to someday reopen the Garden Center but now their biggest need is food and clothing. Food and clothing can be purchased on the black market but the costs are very high. I know how difficult it is to trust that this is not some sort of scam but I promise you it is not and, as far as I know, it is the only way right now to get assistance through to Ibrahim and his family. Please message me if you have questions. Thank you for caring for this boy (he is considered a man now and the sole support of his family) and for wanting to help. Maria also posted all of this information if you scroll down you can see the pictures and links.
Do you know how to get this information to Channel 4 news? I have messaged them but have not heard back from them. Alaa will be delivering to Ibrahim's family on Wednesday a small amount of food and donated funds. As you know the city is under siege and it took him all day to find food for them. We have more funds going to them soon and hopefully there will still be food for Alaa to purchase for them. Many people in Aleppo are very hungry and close to starvation. Alaa will do his best to take care of this family and as many other's as he can. I hope you consider, hfshzhr89, joining our group so you can see how it works. Thank you! :)
Sehr, sehr traurige Geschichte. Viele haben unter dem auf Facebook geposteten Kommentar gefragt, wie sie dem Jungen helfen können. Channel4 hat nur geantwortet, sie melden sich, wenn sie etwas wissen. Das ist aber offenbar nicht passiert. Gibt es inzwischen eine Möglichkeit, dem Jungen zu helfen? Und seiner Familie?
One question. Is he now homeless? And if he is, when people make films of orphans, do they do anything to help them? Do they help them find someone to take care of them?
Beautiful scenario; touched script; romantic music in the background... all to polish the image of the so-called rebels, who are fighting the "boogiemen" Assad & Putin! Indeed, the Propaganda of the mainstream media (MSM) is limitless! This father who appears in the clip as an amazing man, how much blood is on his hands? How many heads he did chop? How many buildings he did blow up? The British Fox news (Ch.4 News) didn't show. Instead, they made him talk about Beethoven's classic music! Does anyone have a shred of intelligence believes that those terrorists know what music in the first place? Music is prohibited in their law, and in fact some of the militias of those terrorists in 2011 fought with each other and killed and injured each other because one group dared to listen to local music! But the Ch.4 News showing them that they listen to Beethoven ! Because this report is prepared for Europeans audience, they had to make it suits their viewers' general taste. Talking about flowers and music, what a great rebels they are now! Even if the "zombies" on the ground who are fighting and killing innocent people knows nothing about all these issues. This report is to fool the western audience to sympathise with the terrorists. This is just as making a report with Osama Bin Laden and his kid talking about flowers and music! Didn't they show them as heroes and "Freedom Fighters" against the evil infidel Soviets back in the late 70's and early 80's? Then when they reached their goal, they labeled them terrorists! They were terrorists from the beginning! That is what's happening now in Syria. History is repeating itself. Every 30-40 years we'll have the recycle of old lies spoiling our minds through the media, that lead us to believe whatever they want us to believe. The kid gave up school - the report said - to stay close to his dad! WOW! My heart would break if I didn't hear the rebels from their first days of the crisis asking the people not to send their children to the "Infidel Schools" and that all that they want is to learn their kids the Qur'an! That's why there are no schools anymore in their areas, and that's why this kid is not going to school anymore! Keep lying, Ch.4 News. Keep lying because you are funded to do so.
You talk about propaganda, yet the same propaganda that has brainwashed YOU has robbed you of your morality and compassion. Only someone truly vole and subhuman could watch such a genuine piece like this, watch a child robbed of his father, future and reason to be, then rant about "well, it's their fault". You are truly a disgusting excuse for a human being. Good day.
First of all arabs and muslims listen to music all the time and it is deep rooted within their culture it isn't against any law. Secondly how is this man a terrorist? Because he lives in Aleppo? First of all Aleppo isn't under control of ISIS or Al Nusra so the people fighting the regime are various rebel groups with different motives. Majority of the people in Aleppo are people who live there and have so for many years. Also the kid isn't going to school because they are being bombed for being under control of the rebel army. Don't be an idiot.
guys, believe whatever you like to believe. In 2003, when the US and UK invaded Iraq, some of my Iraqi friends by the time told me that most of the news coming on mainstream media about Iraq are false and untrue. By the time, I was an idiot and didn't believe them. I argued with them the way you are arguing with me now. When meeting people from Vietnam, Yugoslavia, and many of Latin America that witnessed crisis and wars, and tell them what I mentioned above; they already say to me: "Welcome to the club! Deja vu! It happened to us in the past and no one believed us when the media was lying and fabricating news, photos, and video clips"!. If it didn't happen to you or didn't take place in your country yet, that doesn't mean such things don't happen to others somewhere else. Instead of calling me names, go and search for the truth yourselves, and don't depend on fast-news packages from here and there. Learn to question what is given to you as the only sole fact. If the whole world and media, books and movies, said that Santa Claus is a real figure, and one tiny voice said that it's a mythical one, are you going to believe the majority media? So far, it seems so, unfortunately.
am231euy Your response has nothing to do what you said above. You assume the worst in this man because he lives in a country that is in the midst of war. Who is the one who is brainwashed again? You say "The media says it so it must be false" even though you got all of your ideology from speculation. You know that the footage in this video is from a documentary from someone who is inside Syria right? It isn't owned by 4 News they are just using it to tell this man's story.
G-d loves you and sent His Son, Yahu'shua (Jesus Christ), to die on the cross for your sins. The holy blood of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) made you whole, new, and forgave you of your sins. My neighbor, please accept Yahu'shua as your Lord and Saviour. Time is running out and the Jewish Messiah is coming back to earth as the, "Lion of Judah"!!! Selah.
GTF with this fairy tale bullshit. God loves you except when he gives cancer to those newborns ? Yeah. There is no fucking GOD. Humans are running this town and as we have just gotten of the trees our dumb nature engraved in our DNA makes us vulnerable to violence and irrationality so we kill.. We kill each other for nothing.
They must have sat for hours on their chairs in the garden surrounded by their flowers, father and son they seemed so close, you could see the pain etched on the sons face, very sad indeed..I hope all of this craziness comes to an end soon.
Some of the most simple, substantially beautiful human souls ive seen in a while. It hurt so bad to hear the father died.
This report was so beautiful and so moving. My heart breaks for him and his son. Such a beautiful symbol in he midst of such an awful war zone.
The best documentary I've seen this far on the Syrian War.
I hope the best for the kid and God bless his father's soul... الله يرحموا
And I hope the best for Syria....
This profound message from Abu .I bear witness to. It stopped me in my tracks five years ago ,but what is time? To an eternal spirit .thank you .
In a sense the Gardener became like a flower, a beautiful essence that is unique and fills the world with joy and hope. Only a beautiful soul like that can turn the sounds of war to that of music. Those are the people that make a difference the silent heroes. May his son find peace and love.
Very sad story. May God have mercy on all those innocent people who died.
And those there who live and suffer whether in Aleppo or the ones who have been forced to leave.
This gardener carried a great wisdom. I hope his young son can find solace with remaining family and friends. My heart is weeping, sharing his pain.
In grieving, a new connection with the essence of life and death can flower.
I deeply and truly wish courage and strenght to this child, and to all who are suffering from war, especially in Aleppo.
my god....this us truly fucking so sad. I hope the war stops and this poor boy can rebuild his once beautiful garden. I hope he finds the strength in love and not hate.
Your Dad, Ibrahim, was a beautiful man. He is a beautiful soul. Good luck, Ibrahim.
Incredibly beautiful and uplifting with a heartbreaking conclusion. My heart goes out to his young son
Dear Channel 4 News team. This video moved me, a retired librarian in Austria, so deeply, that I dreamed of a possibility to help in the region. Yesterday it was fullfilled, because Hassan Abo Ali, a young teacher, planted the first trees in the streets of Aleppo. Thousands will follow in the next years. They are a sign of peace and will bring hope for a better future. Thank you in the name of all, who will walk by and watch them growing.
Cannot take the image of Ibrahim crying out of my mind. Children are fragile, they need guidance. So sorry for him.
A beautiful documentary of a beautiful plant nursery man his son and his plants...flowers 🌹🌹🌹
Ibrahim Walad - I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. if you can somehow make it to the Netherlands you are welcome to stay with my family.
Amazing. Thank you for this emotional report. Peace everyone!
so very painful- such sweetness, and then such unspeakable sorrow
"He gave up school to stay close to his dad " 😭😭😭😏 I'm in tears May Allah have mercy on his soul and guide the young boy through this horrible journey of life 😥😥
I would love to help the child in any way possible god bless him
I know war is never fair, but that one.. What a beautiful soul, the both of them. I hope there is someone who takes care of his son, and that the war comes to an end soon. I wish there was something I could do for him.. Something to give him hope.. Even just a hug, or a shoulder to cry on. But there is absolutely nothing I can do.
No child should have to endure the pain and difficulty he faces, no one. Each and every one of them, should wake up with a smile on their pretty little faces.
May he make it through
I must be allergic to flowers cuz my eyes are overflowing!! May god have mercy on your soul FLOWER MAN!! I'm sure your grave must smell like paradise!
I had to cry my heart out
i cried watching this. What monsters perpetrate such crime. RIP Gardener.
I saw this at the movies. It was shown before the main feature. So beautiful and so tragic. RIP Flower man of Aleppo. RIP
That was one of the most captivating, yet heartbreaking stories ever.
Bless his father's soul, may he rest in peace.
Please tell me how the child is doing. May I know if he has family? Has he continued the tradition of tending to flowers and planting them? Does his community help him?
He's dead.
Are you just being cruel or is that true!?
Barbie Kat He's dead inside.
Udoby Break I am not sure what you mean even with your clarification. He is expressing grief and the anguish of losing his dad. Those are not indications of being "dead inside". No emotions, no expression, no tears, nothing behind the eyes... is being "dead inside"...
Ibrahim and his family have been found. Please see the post at the top of this page.
Heartbreaking. I don't know anybody who wasn't touched by this.
Father and son in Aleppo selling flowers. GUNS, BOMBS, DESTRUCTION, KILLING OF THE INNOCENT. This story is an illumination of light in this dark world. There is only one race!! THE HUMAN RACE. I feel totally sad and helpless. Love and piece to everyone. 🌈
Tragic, courageous, hopeful & very emotional. Peace to the war ridden area, it is time.
Inna illahi wa inna illayhi rajioon....such a Heartbreaking report...why is the world ignoring the suffering of these people?
you can see the heartache and pain in the young son's eyes. So sad...
This broke my heart. My heart goes out to Ibrahim. So sorry.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raj'un, may your soul rest in peace and may Allah grant you Jannah ameen
Heartbreaking, beautiful, such a tragedy
notice that kid is wearing his father's coat. may God bless their souls and damn those in charge 0f this tragedy
It broke me heart I cried very much. I love them his son. Oh yes, I do. The wicked people destroying lives . God to protect the people left. Please bring this war to end now.
Breaks my heart. Like Omar X, I want to know what I might be able to do to help Ibrahim. No kid deserves to go through what he's been through.
I cried so much...i wish i could help him😓
Our Facebook group helps Ibrahim and is family regularly. They are alive and now living in Idlib province. Our group is Il Gattaro D'Aleppo. It was Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel (the Catman of Aleppo) who found the family after the video was aired and who, with the help of our group, has been helping them since that time.

Allah have mercy on you Abu Wadd. And to the killers who wear suits in Damascus and Moscow, know that there will be justice someday. Not the sham at the Hague, but before the maker of all. May the stars shine down soon so we can be done with this nonsense. Too sickening
This is beyond sad.
I'm in tears. I never hated Russia or Syria's gov. I never had a reason. I hate both for doing this to these people. Monsters.
it is probably one of thousands such stories. no human should be killed by human because we are human.
Afghanistan, iraq, Syria, Yemen, libiya ... it is religion and politics. human life has no value over the ideologies.
This is what war does. War kills and ruins.
This story is so sad. I just want to reach out and help this child.

the Assads have been in power unelected for decades
Tenaki2427 There was an internationally-monitored election held there recently which Assad won fair and square.
How can you watch something so emotionally powerful and 'pure' and come out with that comment?

Your heart is so cold, yea yea just like the Syrian regime i'm not surprised.
Why do fools always destroy the good and the beautiful?
RIP Abu Ward, and I hope his son will be safe and find peace.
What has happened to Ibrahim? I really hope that he is being well looked after in safety now.

He Is Ibrahim the famous baby in the video, the son of the last flower shop in Aleppo, he has all these brothers to maintain, and the girl with the green dress is severely disabled .. now I have the security that helps him arrive.
Who want To help Ibrahim.
In The First comment you find The video"
Here is a picture of Ibrahim and his brothers and sisters (his mother is in mourning and choose not to be photographed). - Maria has posted the pictures. Please scroll down to see Ibrahim and his family.
Alaa is happy to give to Ibrahim and his family whatever donations anyone wants to make to him and maybe one day reopen the garden center (which, after you join our group you can see in the video with Alaa and Ibrahim).
So, if you still want to help this child and his family you will:
1. Need to join our Facebook group - Il gattero D'aleppo - facebook.com/groups/1509943749305018
2. To protect Alaa and keep away trolls it is a closed group so you will have to ask to join the group. Alessandra normally will admit you within 24 hours. If she is on one of her regular trips to Serbia or Turkey to deliver supplies to refugee camps it might take a little longer.
3. Once you are a member please read the FAQ's pinned at the top of the page (they are in several languages) which will explain much.
4. There are various ways to donate, including PayPal. You will need to private message Alessandra on Facebook to receive the PayPal information.
5. When you make a donation, particularly on PayPal, NEVER use the words Syria, Aleppo or anything similar because PayPal flags all those words as possibly being donations to terrorists. If you want to send money to Ibrahim just put his name in the comment area. You can also message Alessandra with special information on donations as did our member who donated the trees.
6. If you use PayPal for your donation click on "Send Money to Friends/Family" and NOT paying for an item.
7. If you have any questions just post to the group or send a private message to Alessandra.
8. In the group there is absolutely no discussion of politics or religion, which to me is quite a relief.
Donations to Alaa are completely transparent. Alessandra will list names along with donations. She will show a picture of the total donations being sent the charity that Alaa works for. Alaa will acknowledge the donations and you will then see videos or pictures sent by Alaa showing him giving your donation to the person you designate.
I joined the group (that's what we call ourselves) in December of 2015 and I had serious doubts because I am not a trusting person. At first I made a very small donation of 5 Euros just to see what happened. When I saw how transparent it is I started making monthly donations. At that time there were around 900 members and now we have over 4500 members from all around the world, including the UK, France, Spain, Italy, South Korea, China, U.S., Netherlands, South Africa, South America, Greece, Israel, and Russia. I'm certain I have left out many locations of our members.
So this is a method you can use to help Ibrahim if you choose. His dream is to someday reopen the Garden Center but now their biggest need is food and clothing. Food and clothing can be purchased on the black market but the costs are very high.
I know how difficult it is to trust that this is not some sort of scam but I promise you it is not and, as far as I know, it is the only way right now to get assistance through to Ibrahim and his family.
Please message me if you have questions. Thank you for caring for this boy (he is considered a man now and the sole support of his family) and for wanting to help.
Maria also posted all of this information if you scroll down you can see the pictures and links.
Thank you so much for clarifying this and for the work that you guys do for the poor boy and his family!
Do you know how to get this information to Channel 4 news? I have messaged them but have not heard back from them. Alaa will be delivering to Ibrahim's family on Wednesday a small amount of food and donated funds. As you know the city is under siege and it took him all day to find food for them. We have more funds going to them soon and hopefully there will still be food for Alaa to purchase for them. Many people in Aleppo are very hungry and close to starvation. Alaa will do his best to take care of this family and as many other's as he can. I hope you consider, hfshzhr89, joining our group so you can see how it works. Thank you! :)
Very sad. It’s ok if you never get over it. Don’t let anybody tell you you have to let it go because you don’t. Good luck.
What is the father referred to? Abu Wad? I know it translates to Father of the Flowers, but how do you spell it using the english alphabet?
god bless you all xxx
Sehr, sehr traurige Geschichte. Viele haben unter dem auf Facebook geposteten Kommentar gefragt, wie sie dem Jungen helfen können. Channel4 hat nur geantwortet, sie melden sich, wenn sie etwas wissen. Das ist aber offenbar nicht passiert. Gibt es inzwischen eine Möglichkeit, dem Jungen zu helfen? Und seiner Familie?
Does anybody know how is that boy now? Where is he?
One question. Is he now homeless? And if he is, when people make films of orphans, do they do anything to help them? Do they help them find someone to take care of them?
Stay strong Ibrahim
What's happened to the boy?
"So what are you planning to do now?".... HELP THE KID GODDAMIT.
Now that we have found him there are many people who are trying to help.
الله يرحمو يا أبو ورد
Shame on America Saudi Arabian Government & Israel 🇮🇱
I cried
Yeah, feel the darkside. Bow down before the immense power of Damask forces.
This is 2019, what we got from war? just sad story
R.I.P
Stop this stupid war
If GOD created, destruction is not the path to follow for our own beliefs. As we might call religions.
:(
RiP Abu...
AHH HELL NO
Beautiful scenario; touched script; romantic music in the background... all to polish the image of the so-called rebels, who are fighting the "boogiemen" Assad & Putin! Indeed, the Propaganda of the mainstream media (MSM) is limitless!
This father who appears in the clip as an amazing man, how much blood is on his hands? How many heads he did chop? How many buildings he did blow up? The British Fox news (Ch.4 News) didn't show. Instead, they made him talk about Beethoven's classic music! Does anyone have a shred of intelligence believes that those terrorists know what music in the first place? Music is prohibited in their law, and in fact some of the militias of those terrorists in 2011 fought with each other and killed and injured each other because one group dared to listen to local music! But the Ch.4 News showing them that they listen to Beethoven !
Because this report is prepared for Europeans audience, they had to make it suits their viewers' general taste. Talking about flowers and music, what a great rebels they are now! Even if the "zombies" on the ground who are fighting and killing innocent people knows nothing about all these issues. This report is to fool the western audience to sympathise with the terrorists. This is just as making a report with Osama Bin Laden and his kid talking about flowers and music! Didn't they show them as heroes and "Freedom Fighters" against the evil infidel Soviets back in the late 70's and early 80's? Then when they reached their goal, they labeled them terrorists! They were terrorists from the beginning! That is what's happening now in Syria. History is repeating itself. Every 30-40 years we'll have the recycle of old lies spoiling our minds through the media, that lead us to believe whatever they want us to believe.
The kid gave up school - the report said - to stay close to his dad! WOW! My heart would break if I didn't hear the rebels from their first days of the crisis asking the people not to send their children to the "Infidel Schools" and that all that they want is to learn their kids the Qur'an! That's why there are no schools anymore in their areas, and that's why this kid is not going to school anymore!
Keep lying, Ch.4 News. Keep lying because you are funded to do so.
You talk about propaganda, yet the same propaganda that has brainwashed YOU has robbed you of your morality and compassion. Only someone truly vole and subhuman could watch such a genuine piece like this, watch a child robbed of his father, future and reason to be, then rant about "well, it's their fault". You are truly a disgusting excuse for a human being. Good day.
You are pathetic.
First of all arabs and muslims listen to music all the time and it is deep rooted within their culture it isn't against any law. Secondly how is this man a terrorist? Because he lives in Aleppo? First of all Aleppo isn't under control of ISIS or Al Nusra so the people fighting the regime are various rebel groups with different motives. Majority of the people in Aleppo are people who live there and have so for many years. Also the kid isn't going to school because they are being bombed for being under control of the rebel army. Don't be an idiot.
guys, believe whatever you like to believe.
In 2003, when the US and UK invaded Iraq, some of my Iraqi friends by the time told me that most of the news coming on mainstream media about Iraq are false and untrue. By the time, I was an idiot and didn't believe them. I argued with them the way you are arguing with me now. When meeting people from Vietnam, Yugoslavia, and many of Latin America that witnessed crisis and wars, and tell them what I mentioned above; they already say to me: "Welcome to the club! Deja vu! It happened to us in the past and no one believed us when the media was lying and fabricating news, photos, and video clips"!.
If it didn't happen to you or didn't take place in your country yet, that doesn't mean such things don't happen to others somewhere else.
Instead of calling me names, go and search for the truth yourselves, and don't depend on fast-news packages from here and there. Learn to question what is given to you as the only sole fact. If the whole world and media, books and movies, said that Santa Claus is a real figure, and one tiny voice said that it's a mythical one, are you going to believe the majority media?
So far, it seems so, unfortunately.
am231euy Your response has nothing to do what you said above. You assume the worst in this man because he lives in a country that is in the midst of war. Who is the one who is brainwashed again? You say "The media says it so it must be false" even though you got all of your ideology from speculation. You know that the footage in this video is from a documentary from someone who is inside Syria right? It isn't owned by 4 News they are just using it to tell this man's story.
G-d loves you and sent His Son, Yahu'shua (Jesus Christ), to die on the cross for your sins. The holy blood of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) made you whole, new, and forgave you of your sins. My neighbor, please accept Yahu'shua as your Lord and Saviour. Time is running out and the Jewish Messiah is coming back to earth as the, "Lion of Judah"!!! Selah.
lol
SHOMER FUCKING SHABBOS!
Way to ruin the emotional moment with your crap...
GTF with this fairy tale bullshit. God loves you except when he gives cancer to those newborns ? Yeah. There is no fucking GOD. Humans are running this town and as we have just gotten of the trees our dumb nature engraved in our DNA makes us vulnerable to violence and irrationality so we kill.. We kill each other for nothing.
sad

To all the non arabic speakers this is more fake than the landing on the moon.
