The photo depicting Alan Kurdi, a 3-year-old Syrian refugee, lying dead in the Turkish surf has spurred a European urgency that reports of hundreds of other deaths did not.

Maybe the dead children from the Gaza Strip should make the front pages of the news and hopefully peace will reign.

I am one of those weak ones. That photo was not something I could look at.

I usually can’t look either. I saw the first photo by chance when reading a news story. Later I saw the next photo which I thought was the worse one with little Alan lying on the beach. That was the worst one for me. I know it is painful but I think the world needed to see it to become awake to this crisis.
