In case you’ve been living under a rock, a brutal and bloody civil war has been raging in the Middle East country of Syria for over two years. More recently, America and her allies have been discussing intervention.

But the people on the ground aren’t busy with politics. They are just trying to survive, day by day. 

This bitter-sweet video published by hadi hdhod before the weekend demonstrates just how difficult and horrible the situation has become for many people.

In the emotional clip that has already amassed over 3.5 million views, a mourning father discovers that his son that he believed was killed in a chemical attack was actually found unharmed.

Even though most Western viewers can’t understand Arabic, everyone seems to understand the father’s great relief.
