News Center- A park in Italy’s Milan city has been named after Alan Kurdî, a three-year-old Syrian boy whose image made global headlines after he drowned on September 2, 2015 in the Mediterranean Sea along with his mother, Rihan, and brother, Galib.

Many people, including Nurgül Çokgezici, a Professor at the Scuola Superiore per Mediatori Linguistici Prospero Mosé Loria (UNIUMA), attended the opening ceremony of the park.

In 2011, Alan Kurdî and his family fled from Kobanê to Türkiye due to ISIS attacks. On September 2, 2015, Alan Kurdî and his family boarded a small plastic or rubber inflatable boat, which capsized about five minutes after leaving Bodrum in Türkiye. His dead body washed up on the beach.
