‘THE LAST TIME YOU’LL HEAR MY VOICE’

Chilling video message from kids trapped in Aleppo’s last remaining orphanage sees them beg for help

Yasmin Kaimouz says all the children want is peace and to leave the city

A HEARTBREAKING plea for help has been issued by children who are trapped in the only orphanage left in Aleppo.

The footage shows Yasmin Kaimouz, who is surrounded by dozens of silent children, delivering the sad message after the majority of the city was recaptured by government after a dramatic assault.

Yasmin, dressed in a pink woolly hat and jumper, says: "This may be the last time you see me or hear my voice.

"I have been living there for two years with my parents, who were killed by Syrian warplanes.

"I appeal to human rights organisations and children's rights organisations all over the world to help us get out of Aleppo right now."

She also confirms she is 10-years-old and has been at the orphanage for two years.

Yasmin also states she lost her mother and father "because of the bombardment".

The video is addressed to the "human rights and children's rights organisations".

Yasmin continues: "We are asking that you give us our human rights.

"We hope you can get us out of Aleppo.

"47 orphans are here. They are all my brothers and sisters. We all wish that we can leave Aleppo and eat and drink in peace.

"We want peace."

She then goes on to talk about life in the orphanage, saying the children cannot go outside because of the bombing.

"We are afraid," Yasmin adds.

"We hope that you will evacuate us from here so we can live in peace like the rest of the world."

A previous attempt to arrange a rebel withdrawal failed on Wednesday when a cease-fire deal between the rebels and the Syrian government collapsed, with the government and the rebels blaming each other for its failure.
