Idlib, which is located on the Turkish border in north-west Syria, has been the target of continuous bombing since the past few weeks. 21 civilians have been killed so far in Idlib by the strikes carried out by the Syrian Air Force and their Russian allies, reports The Guardian.

Amid such bombing, a father made a “laughing game” for his daughter in order to prevent her from getting scared. The father taught his 4-year-old daughter to laugh every time a bomb dropped, as though it were a game, reports News18.

A video of the father-daughter duo was shared by a journalist on Twitter who wrote, “What a sad world.”

Have a look at the video here:

Human beings driven by their lust for power have done horrible, unspeakable things. But the worst of them all is to kill the dreams and lives of innocent children.
