The Mannequin Challenge has spread all over the world from Hillary Clinton to Honey G - but it has now been undertaken by its most unlikely group yet.

The Syrian Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, are a volunteer organisation that has been saving lives in rebel held areas of the war-torn country, but have now been forced to apologise after their video was deemed offensive.

It shows two of its workers frozen in the midst of a rescue, while an actor pretends to be trapped under some rubble.

The face of the 'victim' is covered in dust and he is lying motionless under a huge boulder as the workers try to heave it off.

It had been created in order to spread awareness of the horrors taking place in the besieged city of Aleppo, but it appears to have backfired.

In a statement to CNN, the group said: 'This video and the related posts were recorded by RFS media with Syria Civil Defense volunteers, who hoped to create a connection between the horror of Syria and the outside world using the viral 'Mannequin challenge.'

'This was an error of judgment, and we apologize on behalf of the volunteers involved," the statement read.'

Syria Civil Defense was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for its rescue work, but critics are now suggesting this video calls into question the authenticity of other videos.

President Bashar al-Assad, who is behind the bombings on Aleppo, has claimed that previous releases by the group were faked.

The challenge was also undertaken by members of the Iraqi army.

Soldiers took time out of their Isis-fighting schedule to pose on the lookout atop a building.
