Abdullah Kurdi, father of three-year old Aylan Kurdi,waits at the morgue in Mugla, southern Turkey, on September 3, 2015, after a boat carrying refugees sank trying to reach the Greek island of Kos. The father of the three-year-old Syrian boy washed up on a Turkish beach September 2 whose image shocked the world said his children "slipped through my hands" as their boat was taking in water en route to Greece. "I was holding my wife's hand. But my children slipped through my hands. We tried to cling to the boat, but it was deflating. It was dark and everyone was screaming," Abdullah Kurdi told Turkey's Dogan news agency of the sinking that also killed his wife and 5-year old child. The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR says more than 2,500 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean so far this year.
