The heart breaking image of a Syrian child lying dead on the shore of Turkish beach with his face down has not only ashamed the humanity but has also questioned the intention of International community whether they really want to solve the migrant crisis of that area or just showing off. The child is said to be the part of 11 member group who were attempting to get into Greece by travelling through Mediterranean sea as they wanted to leave war-ridden Syria.
The boy was wearing a red T-shirt and blue shorts, his name is said to be Aylan Kurdi and he belonged to Kobane, a Kurdish Syrian city, his elder brother Galip was found dead on the other part of the beach.
The British newspaper Independent wrote, “If these extraordinarily powerful images of a dead Syrian child washed up on a beach don’t change Europe’s attitude to refugees, what will?”
It is absolutely clear that the level of cruelty and harassment is Syria is so high that people are ready to take even this type of dangerous decisions. This is high-time that the persons concerned should now bring a solution to this problem as it has already taken up the lives of millions of innocent people.
People are taking this sea route for reaching Europe as Eastern Islands of Greece are nearest to the Turkey by this route.
As per the latest data published by International Organisation for Migration, this year almost 332,000 people have migrated to Europe, sadly out of which 2,636 have lost their lives on the way.
Yiannis Mouzalas, Migration Minister of Athens said this after the heart breaking incident, “The problem is very big. If the European Union doesn’t intervene quickly to absorb the populations … if the issue isn’t internationalized on a UN level, every so often we will be discussing how to avoid the crisis.”
