it aches me to see such a photo

I'm not sure if this photo was taken in a hospital of the Lebanese village of Srifa, but that was the village where these 2 poor boys were hurt.

The BBC reported that in the violence between Lebanon and Isreal, at least a third of the injured and dead were children.

Children are beautiful symbols of innocence and naiveity, they should be protected by all means. It aches me to see such a sight.

This photo caught my attention cos it was able to exhibit the really painful feeling of the boy. He's crying so pitifully, as though his world has collapsed. The pain he's enduring must have been intolerable. The moment I saw this photo I felt the urge to cuddle and hoax him. Poor thing!

See the other boy on the right? His eyes showed a whole lot of helplessness.

While Singapore children cry for, perhaps, not being able to get their parents to buy them the toys they want, Lebanon children are weeping for the agony caused to them without any justified reasons.
