Drowned refugee boys buried in Syria; crackdown crumbles in Hungary

A photograph of Syrian woman Rehan Kurdi holding her son Aylan is pictured next to a bouquet of flowers outside the home of Rehan's sister-in-law Tima Kurdi in Coquitlam, British Columbia September 3, 2015. Two young Syrian brothers, one of whom was Aylan, and their mother Rehan Kurdi, who drowned while trying to reach Greece, were buried on September 4, 2015 in their hometown of Kobani and their distraught father begged Arab countries to do more to help Syria's refugees. Images of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi, washed up dead on a Turkish beach, shocked the world this week, giving a human face to the large-scale refugee disaster unfolding across Europe and prompting both empathy and outrage over the perceived failure of rich, developed nations to protect such vulnerable people.

AIR FOR ONLY 90 MINUTES

In Austria, police said the 71 dead migrants found alongside a motorway near the Hungarian border last week were Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans, but none had been identified. They included a baby girl, her brother, two other children and eight women.

There was enough air inside the truck for no more than 90 minutes and the people appeared to have slowly lost consciousness, suffocating before they crossed from Hungary.

In southern Hungary, police gave chase as about 300 migrants fled the crowded reception centre in Roszke on the border with Serbia. Another 2,300 migrants still inside were threatening to break out too. After the escapees were returned to the camp, migrants stormed barricades and clashed with police.

Hungary's MTI news agency said hundreds of others had escaped from a train that had been halted west of Budapest in the town of Bicske, where riot police had failed since Thursday to force them to go to a registration camp.

"No camp. No Hungary. Freedom train," someone had written with shaving foam on the side of the train.

Hungary blames the chaos on Germany, which has said it will let Syrians register for asylum regardless of where they entered the EU, suspending normal EU rules.
