The horrors of the civil war in Syria are captured in this poignant photo of a frightened 4-year-old girl raising her hands in surrender — thinking that the long-lens camera pointed at her is a gun.
Turkish photographer Osman Sagirli snapped the picture of little Adi Hudea in December at the Atmen refugee camp on Syria’s border with Turkey.
Gaza-based photojournalist Nadia Abu Shaban last week tweeted the heart-rending picture of Adi — her eyes conveying a mixture of sadness and fear as she purses her lips tightly.
“Thought he has a weapon not a camera so she gave up!” Abu Shaban wrote.
