Girl, 4, washes up on Turkish beach

Another child’s body has been washed up on a beach in western Turkey. The body of a four-year-old Syrian girl’s body was discovered yesterday.

The unidentified girl was found in the town of Cesme in Izmir province. The inflatable boat she was on sank while attempting to carry 15 Syrians to the Greek island of Chios.

The remaining 14 Syrians, eight of whom where children, were rescued by the Turkish coast guard. This harrowing information arrives just weeks after images of drowned Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi shook the world.
