The emotional picture that shows thousands of peoples struggle to escape.

Last week, Reuters photography Yannis Behrakis captured a heartfelt picture of a Syrian refugee. This picture caught the attention because he is carrying his daughter through the rain, kissing her face. This picture shows the struggle for over 381,500 migrants and refugees who are attempting to enter Europe by sea. This picture has been so powerful that even Barack Obama has commented on it. He and his administration have announced that they are preparing for a scale up, for the number of Syrian refugees coming to the United States. Its interesting how a simple picture can show thousands of peoples hardships and how it touches many people.
