The aunt of drowned refugee Alan Kurdi says she cannot look at the image of him washed up on a Turkish beach - one of the most shared pictures of 2015 - but understands its power. Tima Kurdi told 5 live's Emma Barnett the photo of the toddler, which was tweeted 53,000 times an hour at its peak and became a symbol for the refugee crisis, was important to showcase the plight of refugees and migrants, despite the immense personal sadness for her and her family.
