Two refugee boats sank in Turkish waters on Wednesday drowning at least 12 Syrian migrants including five children and one woman.
Aylan Kurdi, a child whose lifeless body, washed ashore went viral on social media evoking horrified reactions.
A hashtag "#KiyiyaVuranInsanlik" ("Humanity washed ashore") became a global trend as the image got widely circulated.
A video captures Aylan Kurdi wearing a red T-shirt lying face-down on the beach near Bodrum.
Two refugee boats left Turkey's Bodrum peninsula for a Greek Aegean island on Wednesday morning. Though the weather was clear both of them drowned.
Turkish coastguard authorities are continuing their search for three people still missing.
The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR says more than 2,500 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean sea so far this year.
