A photograph of a Syrian father kissing the body of his little girl before her memorial service close Damascus is being shared after air strikes hit the family's town throughout the end of the week. 

Last Friday, no less than three regular citizens, including two kids, were killed in air strikes on the town of Arbin, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. 

The carnage came a day after the most recent associated chlorine assault by the administration with President Bashar al-Assad on Ghouta, which has been blockaded by government powers since 2013.
