Dad went to Libya during the uprising to treat civilians (he's a cardiothoracic surgeon), one of the most heart wrenching stories is that of a little 7 year old girl and her baby sister, just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.
Summary of story:
Gheddaffi's mercenaries were entering the city, little girl and her baby sister were separated from her family, the 7 year old girl see's soldiers and quickly grabs her 1 year old sister (for fuck sake she's 7, the last thing she should be thinking about is picking up her lil baby sister and running away with her!) and starts running away, while running away, the ghedaffi forces see hear and fire anti-aircraft mounted machine guns (

(btw if u get hit direct by one of those guns, it literally tears you apart)
I just can't get over the fact that a 7 year old remembered to grab her 1 year old sister before she ran away!?!?! I mean she's fucking 7. WTF. And still wasn't spared.
