They left Syria
as a family fuelled by hopes of a better life, but on Friday September 04,2015 Abdullah
Kurdi was heartbreakingly left with the task of burying his wife and two
sons in their homeland - the cruel conclusion to a dream that sunk two
days earlier.
Abdulla Kurdi's wife, Rehan and sons, Aylan, three and Galip, five, drowned after their crowded dingy capsized while they tried to make it to the Greek Island of Kos, having set off from the Turkish town of Bodrum.
A picture of Aylan lying facedown on the beach has since come to symbolise the humanitarian crisis engulfing Europe and has been used to prompt world leaders into doing more to help mitigate it.
Shams Shahin, a freelance journalist from Kobane, has posted several pictures from Kobane, which show the coffins containing Kurdi's family laid out on the dirt, as crowds gather around them.
Abdulla Kurdi is also pictured being comforted while overcome with grief.
Abdullah Kurdi, father of Aylan, three, and Galip, five, and husband of Rahen Kurdi, 27, who drowned after their boat sank en route to the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, mourns during funeral of his family in the Syrian border town of Kobani (Ayn al-Arab) on September 4, 2015
