The picture above has posted last Tuesday on the Twitter account of Nadia Abu Shaban, a photojournalist based in Gaza and been retweeted over 15,000 times is very heartbreaking. 
This picture has got the internet crying. Identified as Adi Hudea, whose father died in the 2012 Hama massacre and who has been living with her traumatised mother and three siblings at Camp Atmen ever since; by Turkish media--Adi Hudea froze in fear with her arms raised in surrender as a photo journalist pointed the camera at her which she mistook to be a gun.


The photo was taken by Turkish photojournalist Osman Sagirli at the Atmen refugee camp on Syria's border with Turkey last December but went viral earlier this week on social media.
