The video shot by her father who, in order not to frighten her, made her believe that the Syrian and Russian bombing of Idlib were just a game - a bit like in the movie 'Life is beautiful' - had gone around the web, arousing emotion in everything the world.

Now little Selva, 4 years old, will no longer have to fear bombs. Together with her parents she was in fact accepted as a refugee in Turkey, in the border province of Hatay.

Speaking to the Turkish state agency Anadolu, the girl's father, Abdullah Mohammed, thanked the Ankara government. "I hope the war in Syria will end soon and that I will be able to return," added the man, denouncing the dramatic humanitarian crisis underway in Idlib.

According to the UN, at least 900 thousand people have fled the Damascus and Moscow raids to the Turkish border since the beginning of December.
