Displaced Syrian boy without jacket shows tragedy of refugees amid freezing temperatures
A Syrian refugee boy displaced from Idlib who was recorded on video by an aid organization without a jacket during harsh weather conditions went viral on social media.
After being asked where his jacket is, the smiling Syrian boy explains in the video that he doesn't have a jacket.
"My father died, and we can't afford one," he says, bursting into tears.
Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu ordered authorities to find the boy and provide support after he saw the video.
The Syrian boy is one of many refugees who are trying to survive sub-zero temperatures after being displaced due to attacks by the Russian-backed Assad regime.
