La imagen del pequeño Aylan Kurdi sin vida en una playa no deja de estremecer al mundo entero.

Refleja la crudeza de una realidad que en estas latitudes no conocemos (o que estamos empezando a ver) y de una inacción por resolver los conflictos que desconocemos.

Una familia escapando del horror de la guerra; sea la lucha por el poder, la religión. Lanzada a “la buena de Dios” al mar en busca de sobrevivir. Donde tres de sus miembros desaparecieron, su madre, su hermano Galip y el pequeño Aylan.

Quedarán para el recuerdo sus sonrisas, recopiladas en estas imágenes de la agencia Reuters, que también deberían dar la vuelta al mundo.

Dos ángeles que volaron a lo que llaman “un lugar mejor”.
