Children are still washing up on Europe's beaches and the refugee crisis isn't going away

In early September, photographs of the body of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi were seen around the world.

The little boy's lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach after he drowned trying to reach Greece with his family, and the photos helped shock Europe into action on the refugee crisis.

A month later and the headlines have become quieter, but dead children are still being washed up on Europe's beaches.

Greek police said the badly decomposed bodies of two young children, one just a baby, were found near a beach hotel in Kos on Sunday morning.

The baby was less than a year old, and was found wearing green trousers and a white T-shirt. The body of the older child, between three and five, was found in the same location, wearing blue trousers and a pink T-shirt. Their bodies have been taken to hospital for autopsies and DNA testing.

There are no photos of these children, but they are thought to be two more victims of the world's worst refugee crisis since the Second World War. The images of Aylan led to renewed efforts to help people fleeing death and destruction in their homes, but just because this story isn't dominating the front pages as it once was, it doesn't mean people aren't still in dire need of help, or risking the perilous journey to Europe to find refuge.
