Syrian children and Twitter users around the world are posting pictures this week in solidarity with a two-month-old baby who reportedly lost his left eye after a regime air strike on the besieged Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta last Friday.
In the images, the children are seen covering their left eye, with an image of the baby – reportedly named Karim – also being shared.
