A photo of a Turkish woman, Dr Çagla Seven, who held the hand of her grievously injured friend as both of them lay hurt in an ISIS bomb blast is going viral worldwide.
Dr Çagla Seven, 27, and her identified friend were severely injured in the deadly attack by ISIS in southern Turkish town of Suruc.
As both of them fell nad lay next to each other, the doctor grasped the fatally wounded woman's hand.
Dr Çagla Seven survived, while her friend succumbed to her injuries.
The image struck a chord with viewers, who perhaps saw it as an expression of human bonding amid mindless carnage. A local newspaper Hurriyet hailed Dr. Çagla Seven's gesture as 'the photo that marked the day'.
