Rescuers are seen saving a 5-year-old girl from being buried alive after an all too frequent and uncommon explosion in Damascus in a video that’s gone viral. 

The heartbreaking footage, depicting the rescue scene was shared by CNN and posted online Tuesday. It reveals a young face covered in a horrific and all-too-familiar mixture of blood and plaster.

A girl, later identified as Aya, is seen with just her mouth and tiny hand barely visible through clouds of white dust and rubble. 

White Helmet workers — volunteers of the Syrian Civil Defense, and the world’s most dangerous job — carefully yet urgently extract the girl from the rubble on the second-floor of a crumbling building. 

While one man gently shields the young girl’s head from the pile of debris above her, several others can be seen pulling her from the dust and carrying her out of the building. 

The White Helmets are truly the unsung heroes of the Syrian crisis. The courageous volunteers who do not discriminate either political party, or religion, plunge into the disastrous situations throughout Syria. Their current numbers are less important, they count the lives they’ve saved, 62,000, while honoring the 142 White Helmets they’ve lost.

“We are here now dear, we are here. Don't be scared, we are here," the White Helmets said reassuring Aya, who is seen shocked, screaming, and bleeding from the head, according to a translation from CNN.  

Aya was transported to a field hospital after members of the Syrian Civil Defense rescued her. She has been treated for her injuries, outside the suburb of Damascus where the deadly explosion occurred. 

Tragically, Aya’s case is not uncommon. She is, in fact, one of the lucky ones, 470,000 Syrians have died as a result of the war since 2011, according to the Syrian Center for Policy Research. 

And while there are heroes, such as the White Helmets, countries welcoming refugees, or individual Global Citizen’s of all ages, supporting refugees and victims of war must be the overwhelming norm at all levels of society.
