But, for their grief-stricken father, the deaths of Aylan and Galip Kurdi are a personal tragedy.
Sobbing
uncontrollably, Abdullah Kurdi yesterday recalled his terror when a
flimsy and overcrowded dinghy capsized and his wife and children
vanished beneath the Mediterranean waves.
His sons,
who were just five and three, slipped from his grasp in pitch-black
waters off Bodrum in Turkey. With the night air pierced by the screams
of his fellow Syrian refugees he tried in vain to save wife Rehan.
‘I was holding her, but my children slipped through my hands,’ he said.
