As tensions continue to swell in Europe over the mass influx of migrants from the Middle East, the photos of a young boy who drowned while attempting to make the journey is causing outrage across the continent.
At least 12 Syrians died when the boat they were using to reach Greece sank in the Mediterranean Sea. The bodies of the victims washed up on the beach including that of a young boy which a Turkish news agency then published and pushed into social media with the hashtag #KiyiyaVuranInsnlik, which means “humanity washed ashore.”
Five of the 12 dead are children.

The European Union has an emergency meeting scheduled for September 14th to address the crisis.
