Heartbreaking moment war photographer tries to save wounded boy after Syrian bus attack... then breaks down after finding a young dead victim

This is the gut-wrenching moment war photographer Abd Alkader Habak dashed to save a wounded boy after the suicide bombing of buses holding evacuees of rebel-held towns outside Aleppo on Saturday

This is the gut-wrenching moment a war photographer raced to save a wounded boy after the Syrian bus attack - then broke down in tears after finding another child dead on the ground.

Activist Abd Alkader Habak was working on Saturday when a bomb tore through buses carrying evacuees from besieged government-held towns outside Aleppo.

He was briefly knocked out by the blast, but got up and started rescuing injured people - only to find that many of the children were dead.

A devastating photo shows him 'overcome with emotion' and sobbing on his knees next to a dead boy's body, who he had tried to save moments earlier.
