Death of Alan Kurdi

I was told a while ago by a French official that while the level of crimes had gone down in France, the perception among French people was not parallel to that fact. The older generations especially thought that the crime levels did not go down.

A five-year-old Syrian girl was found dead on Saturday and several other refugees were believed to be missing when their boat sank in an attempted crossing from Turkey to Greece, the state ANA agency reported.
 
The Greek coastguard said it had rescued 11 people and was looking for other survivors.
 

A four-year-old Syrian girl's body washed up on a beach in western Turkey on Sept.18, state media said, just weeks after images of drowned Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi shook the world. 

About 250 Syrian migrants have attempted to walk to Pazarkule border gate in the northwestern province of Edirne in the hope of reaching Germany via Greece amid intervention by security forces.

Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris – estimated to have a fortune of $3 bln – had already stated his intent to buy a Mediterranean island to provide refugees on Twitter. He is now looking at potential locations and is involved in talks to purchase two private Greek islands.

Two suspects have been arrested over the deadly capsizing of migrant boat off the Aegean resort town of Bodrum, which left 12 people dead including Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi.

The jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group has used the shocking image of drowned Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi to warn refugees against trying to flee to the West, calling it a "major sin".

Daily Hürriyet sets out to investigate why refugees, many of them children, keep drowning in the waters of the Aegean on their way to Greece. The answer: They drown because they are 'pushed back,' because they create a 'bloody economy' and because we do not help them enough in an organized way. Aylan's wake-up call

Australia's hardline policy on asylum-seekers, who have been pushed back by the boatload and incarcerated in offshore camps, is under pressure as public sympathy for Syrians escaping conflict swells in a nation built on migration.
 

There is a pointless blame-game going on over Syria, with each country accusing someone else for the way things have gone there. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an continued playing his part in an interview on CNN International last week, blaming the West again.
