WARNING: DISTRESSING IMAGES A three-year-old boy washed up on a holiday beach in Turkey - the heartbreaking human face of a tragedy the world can no longer ignore

His journey began in the killing fields of Syria as he desperately fled a country ravaged by war, torture and oppression.

But five-year-old Galip Kurdi now lies dead on a popular tourist beach after the flimsy boats carrying him and 20 others capsized off the shore of Turkey on the perilous trip.

His younger brother Aylan, three, and mother were also among 12 who died.

And as David Cameron defiantly rejects calls to allow more refugees into Britain, this is the picture that should shame the PM and other European leaders who turn their backs on the plights of people so desperate to flee Syria they would rather die trying.

The tragic brothers were washed up on the beach at Bodrum in Turkey – a resort visited by hundreds of thousands of British holidaymakers each year.

As the dying continues, Labour have begged Mr Cameron to allow 10,000 ­refugees in from Syria.

The UK has so far accepted 240 under a UN scheme. Germany, which plans to welcome 800,000 this year, branded Britain the “slackers of Europe” over the continent’s worst humanitarian crisis since World War Two.
