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.

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.
