Gazans and Moroccans pay tribute to Aylan Kurdi

Dozens of Moroccans took to the beaches on Monday to pay tribute to three-year-old Aylan Kurdi who drowned last week on his way to Europe.

The body of the Kurdish-Syrian toddler later washed ashore, with images of his lifeless body face down in the sand helping to spark international outrage.

The protesters in Rabat lay in the same position as Kurdi when he was found and donned the same red and blue clothing, to highlight the plight of refugees fleeing conflict.

Palestinians in Gaza also paid tribute Kurdi on Monday, by crafting a large sand sculpture of the boy on Gaza beach.
