Yesterday, an image of a drowned Syrian boy who washed ashore went viral. Like many Syrians, the boy (Aylan Kurdi) was trying to flee the war-torn country with his family. While the Syrian Civil War has been escalating for almost 3 years, many Americans are unaware of the horrific conflict that takes place on a daily basis. Today we will take a closer look at the war through some of the cartoon tributes for Aylan Kurdi and an article from NewsELA about a Syrian refugee camp. Just because this is happening overseas doesn't mean our empathy isn't wide enough to cross the ocean.
