These pictures have been shared by the Revolutionary Forces of Syria Media Office (RFS), an organization that aims at spreading the Syrian people’s messages against Bashar al-Assasd's tyrinnical regime.

The pictures have been shared over 21, 000 times.

“With the media spread wide for Pokémon game we decided to publish these images to highlight the suffering of the Syrian people from the bombing of the forces of order and Air-Assad to the Syrian people and besiege them,” said an RFS spokesperson while talking to the Independent.

Comments expressing sympathy towards the children have started pouring in.

The images were published after more than 50 civilians were killed by air strikes in northern Syria, the majority of them women and children.

The RFS spokesperson added: "Syrian children are victims of the war and the brutal and indiscriminate attacks that are carried out on a daily basis by regime and Russian jets.

"The Syrian children are paying the price for the international inaction to stop the Assad killing machine."

UNICEF has said it estimates 35,000 children are trapped in and around the Syrian city of Manbij, where the air strikes hit.
