Heart breaking-three year old Alan Kurd who was drowned to shores of Turkish Beach
This has been in news all over, it surfaced 2 days back and though we know that war clenched country see many death but picture of this particular child can shake any sensible human being.
Seeing these picture is so heart breaking that there are no words to describe. No wonder these pictures are being published everywhere around the internet. Some says that such graphic pictures are generally not published and should not be published at all but I feel that even if we know all, sometimes its necessary to remind the level of insensitivity in the world.
This kid was hardly 3 year old, God knows how many such innocent lives are on stake and world is yet to react. The drowned child washed up on a Turkish beach was three-year-old Alan Kurdi. He died, along with his five-year-old brother Galib and their mother Rehan, in a desperate attempt to reach Canada.
The Syrian-Kurds from Kobane died along with eight other refugees early Wednesday. The father of the two boys, Abdullah, survived. The father’s family says his only wish now is to return to Kobane with his dead wife and children, bury them, and be buried alongside them.
Her aunt wanted to take him to Canada but Canadian Govt. rejected application on grounds of complications.
Canada and Turkey have long been at loggerheads over the bottleneck blocking Syrian refugees in Turkey from finding their way to Canada. It is not uncommon for Kurds in Syria to be arbitrarily denied passports, and to have great difficulty registering as refugees with the UNHCR. The Turkish government refuses to issue exit visas to unregistered refugees not holding valid passports.
