Child in Nangarhar's Behsud district cries for mother after surviving reported Pakistani airstrike
A video from Behsud district in Nangarhar province shows a child who survived an airstrike by Pakistan's military regime crying inconsolably while searching for his mother, sister and brothers.
Local residents try to calm the boy, informing him that his family members are in a hospital. The child, however, persistently demands to be taken to them and repeatedly calls out the names of his loved ones in hopes of seeing them again.
Two nights prior, the child's family members were killed in an airstrike by Pakistan's military regime in Behsud district, Nangarhar province.
The video highlights the plight of civilians -- especially children -- amid recent airstrikes by Pakistan's military regime, raising questions about the protection of non-combatants.
