Fatigue, hunger and thirst for a Syrian refugee family that walked for
hours to Istanbul, Turkey as they tried to get to Greece leave a young
boy in tears. Since a photo was published last month of the body of a
3-year-old Syrian refugee washed up on a Turkish beach, those fleeing
Syria are more apt to try to reach Europe by land, but the Turkish
government refused to allow this family and other Syrians to board buses
for Greece. “They can’t go back to their countries, and they are scared
to go to Europe [by sea] after seeing the picture of the dead kid,”
said the director of a ministry providing aid in refugee camps in
Turkey. “Actually, before that event, thousands of them died, but that
event affected them a lot.” The ministry is providing tents, vitamins,
food, diapers, baby food and cleaning supplies. “These people are tired
from the sun, illnesses and the lack of healthy nutrition,” he said.
“The people were about to crush each other for two pieces of sugar that
fell on the street.”
