Migrants babies born at Hungarian railway station as bodies of Syrian children wash up in Turkey

 
Two baby girls were born in filthy conditions outside the station in Budapest and thousands tried to board trains to a better life in Europe

Their names are Hope and Shelter.

   

Amid the chaos and desperation of the spiralling migrant crisis, two babies born in the shadow of a Hungarian railway station. One baby girl was reportedly born in an underpass next to the station in the capital of Budapest.



The four-day-old infant is believed to have been named Sadan - which means 'the shelter' - by her parents, who are among thousands desperately trying to board trains to Germany.

Another baby girl was born to a widowed refugee mother in a filthy subway after an ambulance reportedly refused to take her to hospital.

She has been named Shems, which means 'sunlight and hope' in her war-torn homeland.

A Migration Aid volunteer, who helped deliver her, told the Sun: “She was born here because the ambulance refused to take her mother to hospital.

“It was a wonderful moment but it broke my heart it happened in such an awful place.”

Warning: Distressing images

The innocent youngsters were among 12 refugees who drowned after migrant boats sank while trying to reach Greece on Monday night.

The local coastguard says the Syrian refugees had crowded onto two inflatable boats which were launched in darkness in the hope of reaching the holiday island Kos.

It's a 12-mile boat journey which thousands of Western tourists enjoy each year.

For them it takes no more than 30 minutes and costs about £20.

But as these harrowing images reveal, Syrian migrants are paying with their lives.

The cheap dinghies carrying a total of 23 people - launched from the Akyarlar area of the Bodrum peninsula - disintegrated in the Mediterranean sea, sending those on board into the water.


The confirmed dead included five children and one woman.

In one of the most distressing images to emerge, a little boy wearing a bright red t-shirt and shorts lies face-down in the surf.

In a second, a grim-faced policeman carries the tiny body away.

The images have been shared widely on Twitter, especially in Turkey.

The hashtag "KiyiyaVuranInsanlik" - "humanity washed ashore" - became the top trending topic on Twitter.

Seven people were rescued from the disaster and two reached the shore in lifejackets.

A Turkish navy official said hopes were fading of saving the two people still missing.

Tensof thousands of Syrians fleeing the conflict in their homeland have descended on Turkey's Aegean coast this summer to board boats to Greece, their gateway to the European Union.

Labour leadership contender Yvette Cooper has begged Britain to do more by accepting10,000 refugees and called for a "national mission" to end themisery.

Referencing today's pictures of the dead Syrian children, the shadow home secretary said: "When mothers are desperately trying to stop their babies from drowning when their boat has capsized, when people are being left to suffocate in the backs of lorries by evil gangs of traffickers and when children's bodies are being washed to shore, Britain needs to act.

"It is heartbreaking what is happening on our continent. "We cannot keep turning our backs on this.

"We can - and must - do more. If every area in the UK took just 10 families, we could offer sanctuary to 10,000 refugees. Let's not look back with shame at our inaction."

Overnight, migrants desperately trying to reach Britain targeted Eurostar trainsbecause of increased security measures at the Channel Tunnel.

Passengers stranded in northern France described being "surrounded by migrants" who blocked tracks and climbed on to train carriages in their efforts to enter the UK.

Two trains were forced to turn back, one to London and one to Paris, while a rescue train was sent for passengers left in "disgusting" conditions when their service broke down near Calais.

Gauri van Gulik, Deputy Europe Director at Amnesty International, called on European leaders to do more.

He said: "Europe as a whole is facing its biggest test of humanity in decades, and so far European leaders are failing miserably.

"The crisis is not people coming to Europe, the crisis is Europe’s woefully inadequate response.

"Our message to European leaders is clear and consistent – live up to your international obligations to protect those who need it.

“No more fences and razor wire. No more tear gas and stun grenades. No more forcing refugees to die in cramped, hellish conditions on perilous journeys.”

Aid agencies estimate that, over the past month, about 2,000 people a day have been making the short crossing to Greece's eastern islands on rubber dinghies.


Heartbreaking human face of a tragedy we can no longer ignore

The distressing picture of the drowned young boy in bright red T-shirt and blue shorts must be a wake-up call for Europe.

On our Continent and off its shores a terrible humanitarian tragedy is unfolding which shames all those Governments, including the British, which turn their backs on desperate people.

Because that is who are, as Labour's Yvette Cooper reminded us in a powerful speech, those we group and too readily dismiss as migrants.

They are sons, daughters, fathers and mothers. They are that dead boy.

The dehumanising of the desperate by the likes of David Cameron, the Prime Minister's "swarm" insult the politically motivated jibe of a cold heart, or the toxic tub-thumping of Ukip's Nigel Farage will go down in history as the poisonous indifference of callous politicians to the suffering of the persecuted.

Europe must do more. Britain must do more. Waiting for peace in the Middle East is the excuse of the coward.

Britain has a proud history of giving refuge. Britons are a kind, open, generous people.

To save others let the awful death of that boy be the moment we all stood up to be counted by doing the right thing.

Live Leak



Hundreds of Syrians have drowned this year whilst attempting to escape assad's terror state.

Whilst the numbers of children and infants who have drowned off the coast of Syria is dwarfed by the numbers who have been murdered by regime terror raids, barrel bombings, the eastern Ghouta Sarin nerve gas attack, and forced starvation campaigns, the number is rising very rapidly now.

Earlier this week children began washing ashore at Bodrum, and these images depict four of them.
