Mediterranean refugee crisis: Tragic! Dead baby washed ashore in Turkey

A Police officer with the body of the dead toddler

 This is so sad and i believe it's high time the EU do something about this....Another twelve migrants thought to be Syrian refugees were feared to have drowned off the coast of the Greek island of Kos on Wednesday after the boats carrying them sank. A number of bodies washed ashore on a beach in the Turkish resort town of Bodrum, probably connected to the disaster.

The images of the dead soon circulated on Turkish social media. They included, most hideously, photographs of children.

The images, some of which appear above, show a tiny toddler lying lifeless on the sand. In others, we see a police officer picking up the corpse of a baby. The most heart-breaking one is a close-up of a drowned infant, his body so still and doll-like that he could be sleeping. It's not pictured above, but you can see it here and elsewhere on social media, where it has become a tragic meme.
