Image of dead Syrian boy captures human tragedy of Europe's migrant crisis

posted on: Sep 3, 2015

It was an image that captured the human tragedy of Europe’s migrant crisis: a Turkish border guard tenderly cradling the lifeless body of a Syrian-Kurdish toddler, washed ashore on the beach of a holiday resort.


The body of the little boy, still dressed in bright red t-shirt and shorts, was found lying face-down in the surf on the beach near the resort town of Bodrum, 250 miles west of the city of Antalya on Turkey’s idyllic ‘Turquoise Coast’.
