By Daily Mail Reporter It was an image posted on Twitter by a seemingly trustworthy source that appeared to capture the on-going heartache suffered by so many in Syria. And within hours it been retweeted thousands of times. But now it has emerged a picture of a four-year-old boy called Marwan wandering in the desert, separated from his family, may have been misleading. In fact, he wasn't alone at all - he was just a little way behind a large group of people. The picture was initially put on Twitter by Andrew Harper, the UNHCR representative to Jordan, who took the picture.
