A six-year-old American boy's letter to Barack Obama, offering a place in his family to a Syrian refugee, has gone viral.
Alex, from New York, wrote the letter after seeing the photograph of bloodied and dazed Omran Daqneesh, which prompted outrage around the world.
The video has been shared more than 60,000 times on Facebook.
Mr Obama quoted Alex's words at a United Nations summit on the refugee crisis this week, before the White House recorded Alex reading them himself.
On social media, many users applauded and praised the young Alex for his letter, BBC reported.
