"Doctors say that if the inflammation in his left eye spreads to his right eye, he may lose that eye too," the baby's father, Abu Mohammed, said.
Two-month-old Karim Abdallah, who lost his mother — and his left eye — to an airstrike last month in Eastern Ghouta, a Damascus suburb, has since become a symbol of resistance against the Assad regime.
Since Karim's story came into a spotlight, many expressed their support for the boy on social media.
Users shared photos of themselves, covering one their eyes with the hashtag #SolidarityWithKarim.
According to the baby's father, the necessary medical supplies cannot be found in Eastern Ghouta, which has remained under a crippling regime siege for the last five years.
