Alex je pismom zamolio američkog predsjednika da pronađe i dovede dječaka iz Sirije čija je snimka iz vozila Hitne obišla i potresla svijet. Obama je pismo pročitao u UN-u
Dječak (6) ponudio dom malom Sirijcu: Pružit ćemo mu obitelj
Maleni Alex iz New Yorka odlučio je napisati pismo Baracku Obami nakon što je vidio fotografiju okrvavljenog i omamljenog Omrana Daqneesha koja je obišla svijet i izazvala burne reakcije. Pismo šestogodišnjaka postalo je viralno, a stiglo je i do Obame koji ga je pročitao u UN-u i rekao da ga je napisalo dijete ‘koje još nije naučilo biti cinično, sumnjičavo ili plašljivo’.
Alex je pismo započeo: ‘Dragi predsjedniče Obama, sjećate li se dječaka kojeg je spasila hitna pomoć u Siriji? Možete li, molim vas, otići po njega i dovesti ga k nama? Čekat ćemo vas sa zastavama, cvijećem i balonima. Pružit ćemo mu obitelj i on će biti naš brat.'
Alex is just six years old. He lives in Scarsdale, New York. Last month, like people around the world, he was moved by the heartbreaking images of Omran Daqneesh, a five-year-old boy in Aleppo, Syria, sitting in an ambulance, in shock as he tried to wipe the blood from his hands. So Alex sat down and wrote me a letter. This week at a United Nations summit on refugees, I shared Alex's moving words with the world. Alex told me that he wanted Omran to come live with him and his family. He wanted to share his bike, and teach him how to ride. He said his little sister would collect butterflies for him. "We can all play together," he wrote. "We will give him a family and he will be our brother." Those are the words of a six-year-old boy -- a young child who has not learned to be cynical or suspicious or fearful of other people because of where they come from, how they look, or how they pray. We should all be more like Alex. Imagine what the world would look like if we were. Imagine the suffering we could ease and the lives we could save. Listen to Alex, read his letter, and I think you'll understand why I shared it with the world. wh.gov/refugees

Američki je predsjednik citirao pismo na sastanku u UN-u čija je tema bila izbjeglička kriza, a potom su i samog Alexa snimili kako čita pismo, javlja BBC.
- Svi bismo više trebali biti poput Alexa. Zamislite kako bi nam svijet izgledao da je tako. Zamislite koliko bismo patnje mogli olakšati i koliko života spasiti - napisao je Obama na Facebooku. Pozvao je razvijene zemlje da učine više i pomognu u izbjegličkoj krizi.
