Bumped: Burned 5 year old, UPDATE

"They dumped gasoline, burned me, and ran," Youssif told CNN, pointing down the street with his scarred hands where his attackers fled.

As he sucked his thumb, he repeated, "I was burning."
He tried to put the flames out himself.
Comments and video at HotAir. Jesus wept. Maybe he can be helped, let's hope so.
UPDATE: LGF:
Great news: that five-year old Iraqi boy who was horribly disfigured in an attack by mujahideen will get free treatment from the California-based Children’s Burn Foundation: Help is on the way for Youssif.[snip]
You can make a donation at the foundation’s site by clicking here. There’s a drop down menu under the “general donation” area that is marked “Youssif’s fund.”

When informed of the news in Baghdad, Youssif ran around his house, saying, “Daddy, daddy, am I really going to get on a plane?!”
