Drowned toddler Aylan Kurdi laid to rest
Aylan Kurdi's last journey was supposed to take him to a safe home -- hundreds of miles away from the relentless war in his native Syria.

Instead, it ended with a funeral for the 2-year-old in the city his family tried to flee.

Aylan's body arrived in the Turkish city of Istanbul on Friday. From there, it made its final trip home to Kobani, the Syrian city his family left to escape the daily barrage of bombs.

The tiny boy with a cheeky smile may be gone, but the wrenching images showing his drowned body will live on.

The photos, which have galvanized the world and become the latest symbol of the migrant crisis in Europe, show his body lying on a Turkish beach. He's wearing a red shirt and black shoes, his face partly covered by sand and gentle waves, as if he were sleeping.

Only his father survived
Aylan's family was among the throngs making the treacherous journey aboard overcrowded rafts in the choppy Mediterranean waters.

Exhausted by the constant conflict and struggle for survival, they left their hometown in search of a better, safer life.

David Cameron has announced,the UK is to provide shelter to "thousands" more Syrian refugees in this catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
Britain, he said, would act with "head and heart" to help those most in need.
He also announced a further £100m in humanitarian aid for those in camps in Syria, Turkey, Jordan and the Lebanon.
Mr Cameron said accepting more people was not the simple answer to the situation, described by some as the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII.
