  2. 9/ After ISIS massacre, Alan's father decided there was no future in Kobane. In search of a new beginning, he paid for a spot on a small boat to Greece. The rest is history. Except for Alan's father, all drowned. RIP Alan, Ghaleb, Rihana, Oscar, Valeria and 1000s more.

  3. 8/ Alan's parents were right not to return yet to Kobane. Because on 25 June 2015, ISIS launched a surprise attack on the town. In 3 days, they murdered 230 Kurdish civilians in the streets & houses of Kobane. Alan's family lost 13 members in this attack, says Alan's uncle Abdu.

  4. 7/ Alan Kurdi's entire family also fled to Turkey after ISIS attack on Kobane. After ISIS was defeated, early 2015, part of family went back to Kobane &started to rebuild their destroyed houses. Alan's parents decided to stay in Turkey as they were not sure Kobane was safe yet.

  5. 6/ On top of poverty and harsh economic situation, the family of Alan Kurdi suffered a terrible ordeal as their city Kobane was attacked by ISIS in september 2014. Almost the whole civilian population was forced to flee to Turkey as their city was destroyed.

  6. 5/ It's easy for the outside world to judge families for leaving their countries of origin and take risks while trying to make it to Europe or U.S. Reason is often a mix of war, poverty, no prospects. While in Kobane, I passed house where Alan Kurdi, his parents &brother lived.

  7. 4/ Abdu Kurdi & rest of the family in Kobane hardly ever visit the grave of the three. 4 yrs might seem a long time to an outsider but to this family it's like yesterday. "Emotionally we can't do it," Abdu said, "We r still in shock. Things have never been the same since then."

  8. 3/ Abdu Kurdi held an image showing 3 ppl: Alan, Alan's elder brother Ghaleb + Alan's mother Rihana (Abdu's sister). They all drowned that day. "We have no pictures of them on the wall," Abdu said, "Too painful to look at them every day. We only keep this one image hidden away"

  9. 2/ As I entered house of Abdu Kurdi (Alan's uncle) we sat down for tea. This is a family in pain. When I looked at Abdu &his sister with a sleeping child in the middle, the sight was eerie to me. "In our family we all sleep on our tummy," Abdu said, "That's how Alan was found."

  10. 1/ The haunting image of Oscar Ramirez & 2-yr-old daughter Valeria reminds many of Alan Kurdi, 2-yr-old Syrian refugee who drowned trying to reach Europe with family in 2015. Alan was from Kobane, Syria. I'm in Kobane where I met his family: "the pain never goes away."

  11. I woke up today in Syria thinking how great it is to be a field reporter. What an incredible privilege to be able to be in the field, learning about others, listening to people sharing their stories & witnessing history in the making. I love my job. 🙏

    5- The good news is that harvest season will end this week. The harvest was excellent this year due to plenty of rain earlier. Local farmers sell the grain to the regional Kurdish administration who store it. We passed HUGE lines of trucks full of grain yesterday.

    4- And this is how some people are dying now. The other day, I went to the hospital in the town of Al-Malikiya/ Derik here in northern Syria to find out that 7 people have actually died from the fires. The sight of the their families crying was heartbreaking.
