This image of a Syrian child who was found lying face-down on the Turkish beach sends chills down the spine and cries shame upon the international community that has failed to address migrant-crises in the region. The child was reportedly a part of a group of 11 people who were trying to reach Greece through Mediterranean sea in an attempt to escape war-ravaged Syria.

These scarring images clearly portray the fear of persecution and ill- treatment among people which compel them to take such risky steps. This is a wake-up call for authorities to solve the issue that has claimed millions of innocent lives.
