A Mother's Nightmare

Afrin is in the knob on the upper left border with Turkey.

Absolutely the saddest story ever: the healthy baby girl who died overnight in freezing weather after her family fled bombing in Idlib.

Her name was Iman Ahmed Laila.  Her family was living in Afrin, Syria, on the border with Turkey after fleeing Idlib.

Laila succumbed to the extreme conditions at the temporary refugee camp on Thursday.

In a statement, the Syrian American Medical Society said the child had died before reaching the Al-Shifa health center.

There are 6.2 million people, including 2.5 million children, displaced within Syria, the biggest internally displaced population in the world, according to the UN.

Her mother is inconsolable.  Her father carried her to the medical clinic in vain.

The photo above was taken in the summer--imagine living in a tent in below-freezing weather with young children.

We wouldn't treat a dog like this, but our president pulled out of Syria and left Russia and Turkey and Bassar al-Assad to their own devices.  

We elected dt.

Well, nearly 3 million more people voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton, who would not have let this happen, but the Electoral College voted for dt.

And this innocent one lost her life.
