International artists pay tribute to Syrian toddler found on Turkish beach

The picture of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi's lifeless body washed ashore a beach in the Turkish town of Bodrum has haunted the world and become of a symbol of the Mediterranean refugee crisis.

In order to flee the war-torn town of Kobani and emigrate to Canada, ​Aylan and his family attempted to cross over to Europe through the dangerous Mediterranean passage, it has been reported.

After Aylan's picture spread like wildfire through social media, several artists paid tribute to the child under the labels in Turkish #KiyiyaVuranInsanlik or #HumanityWashedAshore

The artists' depictions are powerful and heartbreaking drawings of a child that has given the world a reality check on the refugee crisis.
