USS Theodore Roosevelt,
Heartbreaking Pictures Show Drowned Refugee Boy Washing Up On Beach
If these extraordinarily powerful images of a dead Syrian child, Just Accept Syrians…
The pictures show a small boy lying face down in the sand on a Turkish beach as an official stands over him.
The child, who is thought to be Syrian, has drowned in an apparent attempt to flee the war ravaging his country.
They are extraordinary images and serve as a stark reminder that, as European leaders increasingly try to prevent refugees from settling in the continent, more and more refugees are dying in their desperation to flee persecution and reach safety.
