A 4-year-old girl named Rena in Aleppo, Syria was shot in the cheek by a sniper's bullet while sitting on her mother's lap. She was rushed to the hospital where they stabilized her but lacked the tools to perform surgery. The only other option was to take her to a government-controlled hospital across the front lines. Locals later reported that Rena had died from her wounds, but investigators discovered the bullet was actually stuck in her throat. The article cautions students to be careful wherever they are in the world, as many people are being killed for unknown reasons, and to always check their surroundings despite considering home the safest place.
