The stories of migrants drowning at sea while trying to reach the shores of Europe has been a top story in the news for quite a while.
These people tend to come from war torn countries such as Somalia, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq (etc.). They pay traffickers hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars to get a ride on the soonest boat going out.
This heated topic tends to stir anger or sadness in many people. But for this thread it'd be cool to keep any heated and/or racial/flaming remarks to the FLH.
That way we can just look at and comment on the images as they are present
Set 1.
1. Young drowned migrant child - very widely circulated photo.
2. The boy's older brother and mother also drowned, the father survived (they were from Kobane, Syria)

5. The older brother of the child in Pics 1 & 2 above.
