Syrian toddler's body washed up on Turkish shore

Syrian toddler's body washed up on Turkish shore:

First see this foto of a girl running naked after a napalm attack during the Vietnam War 1972:

And the following foto (1993) of a vulture waiting to prey on an emaciated Sudanese child:

Now compare the above fotos with the following foto:


This above photo is of a Syrian toddler's body washed up on the Turkish shore of Bodrum on 2nd of September 2015. I don't know about you but at least I find it very disturbing.

I have come to know that this shocking foto has created an outrage at the inaction of the Nations (who consider them as "developed") in helping the refugees. 

It's impact has been compared with the foto of a naked girl  running after a napalm attack during the Vietnam War in 1972 or 1993 foto in that a vulture is waiting to prey on an emacited Sudanese child. 

Aylan Kurdi (3 years old), his brother and their mother were among 12 persons who drowned after their boat capsized. 

His father, Abdullah, said the captain jumped into the sea midway, leaving him to steer the overloaded boat. 

" The waves were so high and boat flipped. I took my wife and my kids in my arms and I realized they were all dead", he said.
