Mohammed Kurdi (top R) and his wife and children are greeted by his sister Tima Kurdi (3rd L) at Vancouver International Airport in Vancouver, Canada, on Monday. The Kurdis’ brother, Abdullah, and his family tried to make the crossing from Turkey to Greece on an overcrowded boat. It capsized and his wife and children drowned. The horrific image of 3-year-old Alan’s death became an iconic symbol of the plight of Syrian refugees and a major issue in the Canadian federal election. SD-Agencies
