Outrage After Body Of Drowned Syrian Toddler Washes Up On Turkey Beach

The body of a drowned Syrian toddler washed up on the beach in Bodrum in Turkey has sparked outrage.

Pictures from the scene show a boy wearing a red t-shirt and shorts lying face-down on a beach near the resort town.

The boy has been identified as three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, whose five-year-old brother died on the same boat carrying Syrian refugees.

Meanwhile, last night hundreds of people took part in a standoff with police outside a station in Budapest – many say they have tickets and are insisting they be allowed to travel on to Germany.

Italy, France and Germany have now called for "fair distribution" of refugees throughout the EU, however Jane Anne McKenna from Medecins San Frontieres says that this may not be enough.
