Exam 1
Three-year-old Aylan Kurdi and his Syrian-Kurdish family were attempting to cross to the
Greek island of Kos in an overcrowded dinghy but he and at least 11 others drowned.The
family reportedly fled Kobane, a Syrian town that has seen fierce fighting between Kurds and
ISIS, for the last year.He died, along with his five-year-old brother Galip and their mother
Rehan, in a desperate attempt to reach Canada.§1
The family of the father of the two boys, Abdullah, survived the tragedy.
He says his only wish now is to return to Kobane and bury his family - and then be buried
alongside them, according to his family in Vancouver.§2
“I heard the news at five o’clock in this morning,” Teema Kurdi, Abdullah’s sister, told
the National Post."All he said was, my wife and two boys are dead,” she added.§3
Teema, a Vancouver hairdresser who emigrated to Canada more than 20 years ago, said the
family had their immigration application rejected in June.She added: "I was trying to sponsor
them, and I have my friends and my neighbours who helped me with the bank deposits, but
we couldn’t get them out, and that is why they went in the boat."I was even paying rent for
them in Turkey, but it is horrible the way they treat Syrians there."§4
Canadian MP Fin Donnelly said he hand-delivered the Kurdis' file to Canada's citizenship and
immigration authorities but the application was rejected in June.He told the Ottawa Citizen:
"This is horrific and heartbreaking news. The frustration of waiting and the inaction has been
terrible."§5
