Aunt's heartbreak over Syrian boys' death

The aunt of a three-year-old Syrian boy found drowned on a beach in Turkey has told the BBC how she found out about his death.

Alan Kurdi drowned along with his five-year-old brother Galip, and their mother - having fled their home town of Kobane in war-torn Syria and a camp in Turkey.

Tima Kurdi, who lives in Vancouver, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme the family's deaths were "heartbreaking".
