In tribute to Aylan Kurdi, a number of Moroccans lay on the ground motionless similar to the three-year-old Syrian boy, whose tiny body washed up on the Turkish shore last week. Aylan’s picture, lying face down with red and blue clothing in the cold surf created a viral media sensation.

Some 30 people took part in the tribute rally which was held on the beach in the Moroccan capital Rabat on Monday. Aylan and his family, from the northern Syrian town of Kobani, were fleeing fierce fighting between Daesh Takfiri terrorists and Kurdish forces.
