I just saw part of a documentary, masses of refugees are moving back to Syria now that it's becoming safer after defeat of terrorists. Hope the kid finds home soon!

She may very well have been offering the food to the photographer, but the look and pose reminds me of something else I have seen children do. It's a reaction they have if they think they may be getting "caught in the act" of something they aren't 100% sure they're supposed to be doing. My kids did it hundreds of times. You catch them with the TV remote in their hands, about to put it in their mouth, and they suddenly offer it to you, kind of like "Oh! I was waiting to give you this... that's all. Nothing else to see here."

With the food it could have also been a little bit like offering because if the adult the kid is offering to just takes it and eats it as the only response, then it can be safely assumed that "everything is okay," and that the child, too, can continue eating. And if the response is "Hey, you're not supposed to have that!", then at least the child may have ameliorated the situation a bit by showing deference.

It's sad that any child should ever go hungry.

I know a young Iraqi woman whose family fled to Syria in the pre ISIS war. You know, America's war of aggression in Iraq. She and her family are now in America, and seem to have no intention of returning to Iraq.

It's heartbreaking,not just this child though,there are many more,I've seen stats of 1 billion through war famine and being born in poverty,you could blame religious ignorance too,street kids the world over powerless victims,you can blame all the above except them,it's a mean harsh world.

I was told that the root cause of the Syrian civil war was severe drought?

Nature is like that. Always has been that way.

The western powers and some oil-rich countries wanted Assad out and supported rebels that turned out to be brutal fanatics. If not for that support, it would have been over long ago.
