    The cartoon above has been getting a lot of attention on social media since it was published in several Middle Eastern newspapers, external

    It depicts Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy who died during his family's attempt to cross the Mediterranean from Turkey earlier this week. 

    Rafat al-Khateeb, the artist behind it, told the Independent, external: "The main idea [behind the cartoon] is that a child does not know about war and crime.

    "The child knows one thing only.That the whole world is responsible for his death."

    The image is one of several cartoons that have caught the attention of people on social media this week - but not all of them are new. This one below is from 2014 but has been shared hundreds of time in recent days.

    There's a slightly surreal feeling to the situation at Bicske station in Hungary today as hundreds of migrants continue to refuse to get off a stationary train. 

    The train left Budapest yesterday - with those on board unsure of its destination - but it came to a halt in Bicske and migrants were asked to disembark and get on buses that would take them to a nearby refugee camp. 

    One of those on the train told the Reuters news agency that conditions on board were "so bad".

    Another person who has travelled from Syria said: "We have war in our country and we've come to get our freedom here in Europe. Where is the human rights? Where is the United Nations?"
