March was reportedly the bloodiest month yet in Syria's two year-long conflict.

So this apparent rescue of a boy trapped alive in rubble muse seem like a miracle to his worried family.

Reuters cannot verify the video.

But the opposition website that posted it Tuesday says it was taken inside a badly damaged home in the al-Hajar al-Asswad district of the capitol Damascus.

Similar video posted Monday and Tuesday purport to show the aftermath of indiscriminate shelling in another area of the capitol

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights announced on Monday more than 6,000 people were killed in Syria's fighting during March.

As in previous months, it said, a third of those were civilians -- and included nearly 300 children.
