How an image can change lives: Ali Abbas's story

The photograph of Alan Kurdi washed up on a beach in Turkey mobilised public opinion in Europe.

Twelve years ago there was a similar response to another picture of a child. Then it was 12-year-old Ali Abbas, who lost his arms in a coalition airstrike on his home town of Baghdad in 2003.

The public response eventually led to Ali being evacuated first to Kuwait and then to the UK for treatment.

Now aged 24, Ali still lives in Britain. Matthew Price has been to meet him.
