Dubai: A six-year-old Syrian girl, who was publicly subjected to brutal treatment by her father in a camp in Idlib countryside, has died causing uproar on social media with thousands expressing their grief.
The cause of death is believed to be asphyxiation while eating, according to a report issued by the medical center near Faraj Allah Camp in the northern countryside of Idlib, in which the child resides with her father, but activists and people working in the medical field accused him of being behind her death.
