Child survivor of Libyan crash flies home

















The nine-year-old Dutch boy who was the sole survivor of a plane crash in the Libyan capital left for home on Saturday, three days after the disaster that killed his parents, brother and 100 others.

Ruben van Assouw was accompanied on the flight from Matiga military airfield in the Libyan capital by his uncle, aunt and the Libyan doctor who had been treating him.





















The boy's aunt and uncle said on Friday that Ruben now knows that his mother, father and 11-year-old brother died in Wednesday's crash at Tripoli airport that killed a total of 103 people and whose cause remains unknown.


















The Afriqiyah Airways Airbus A330 flight from Johannesburg in South Africa disintegrated on landing.

  4. We don't know why cruel things happen, but I am sure that God has a purpose for this boy. Somehow I can feel that he has a great future ahead of him. God let him survive for a reason. I like the picture of the doctors around the boy's bed. They look compassionate. May God bless the boy always!
