A
Picture is Worth 15 Million Words
by Jonny Cline, Executive Director,
4.09.2015
The Syrian civil war has been raging since 2011, as has the Libyan. Since then ISIS has been beheading and displacing people, especially Christians and Yazidis, across Northern Iraq and its surroundings. More recently, civil war in Yemen has created a similarly disturbing impact.
Nearly 15,000,000 children – not people, there are many millions more people, just the number of children reaches 15 million – are moving around the world, having no home left of their own, to try and find a place to pitch their tent, literally in many cases.
15 million children, and yet nothing made me stop in my tracks, made my stomach churn, like the picture I saw yesterday.
That picture, of a small child in a red t-shirt, he could not have been more than 4 or 5 judging by his size, washed up, dead, on the beach.
I see pictures, numbers, infographics, reports, every single day – that is my job – but nothing has hit me like this.
My first reaction was to call the editor, share with him my view that this picture is just too harsh, and to demand that it is removed. My second reaction was to realise just how shocking the reality is that leads to children, just babies, living in such desperation, that having their lifeless body washed up on the beach is a risk worth taking over the reality into which they were born. My third thought was that now, finally, enough people must be moved, to care, to do, something.
I feel guilty – not that my reality is that in which I take my own children each morning from our comfortable home, with plenty of food in their bellies and bags, to their schools and playgrounds, whilst I go off into the city to work then return home – but that I manage to live that life, day-to-day, without stopping to care enough about those who have never lived in such a reality, but are willing to die trying.
In 1946 UNICEF was founded as tens of millions of refugees were looking for a place to be in post-war Europe. Yesterday I was sent a picture of 210 Jewish orphans in Greece who were helped by UNICEF to come to pre-State Israel for adoption – I also saw picture of war orphans who are sitting in parks and train stations in Macedonia today, not knowing when or where they will be allowed to end their past and perhaps to begin their future.
Stalin is quoted as saying, “One death is a tragedy, One million deaths is a statistic”.
FIFTEEN MILLION children is a statistic, an overwhelming one, but that one death that I saw yesterday is a tragedy that I cannot stand by and let pass me by.
I am lucky enough to be working for an organisation that is in the field, in Macedonia just as we are in Za’atari, saving the lives and the futures of those that survive the journey.
