The video has been breaking hearts on Twitter and have left netizens speechless.
The video comes in the wake of heavy bombing in Idlib, one of the last opposition-held strongholds in Syria, home to hundreds of thousands of Syrians and refugees who have fled other battles to settle there. Since the increased Syrian state onslaught on Idlib under Bashar al-Assad, many have left the town in what is being seen as one of the worst in a series of humaniatarian crises in Syria's 9-year-long conflict that has left over 500,000 dead.
