Berlin: The death of a three-year-old Syrian child by drowning in the ongoing migrant crisis that has engulfed Europe has brought tears to the face of humanity.
Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his elder brother and mother while attempting to reach the Greek island of Kos and his body washed up ashore on the Turkish beach of Bodrum, may have become the face of the crisis but there are so many other moving images that one must see to understand the humanitarian disaster.
