A four-year-old killed after picking up bomb mistaken for toy

A four-year-old girl has died in Aleppo after picking up what she thought was a shiny toy, but which was actually a cluster bomb.


The tragedy happened while the young girl was collecting water in the under-siege Syrian city, which government forces, backed by Russia, are trying to reclaim from rebels.

As soon as tiny Eman picked the object up to play, it exploded.

Shrapnel tore through her tiny frame, and both of Eman's legs were broken in the blast. 

Her doctor told ITV that her family and paramedics had said she thought the deadly weapon was a toy.

UN rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein decried the 'ghastly avalanche of violence and destruction' in east Aleppo, saying 100 children had been killed in the past 10 days.
