Three year old Aylan Kurdis was found dead in a beach. Little boy drowned when the ship carrying refugees overturned. The same boat took lives of his 5 year old brother Galip and his mother. It was the only way for them to escape from the war cruelties in Syria.
Europe is facing the biggest refugee crisis since World War II. About 350 thousand refugees found their way to Europe despite the dangerous journey which often is unbearable and life threatening. Most of the refugees travel by sea with overcrowded boats or even with rafts. It was confirmed that in 2015 about 2,5 thousand people drowned trying to find a new and most importantly safe place to live.
Children is a big part of refugees. Most of them are running with their relatives but it was confirmed that a lot of them are travelling alone. Starting from January more than 7600 children reached shores of Italy without parents or relatives. Most of them stepped on the Italian coast exhausted and terrified.
