Claim: A picture of a shell-shocked Syrian girl being carried by three different rescuers has been widely shared on social networks since 2016. Some accuse the media of staging the scenes while others say the girl miraculously survived three separate attacks. Both these statements are false: the three pictures were taken by a freelancer for AFP after a single attack in Aleppo.
