The waiting is over for some relatives of the Syrian family that made headlines around the world after a tragic attempt to escape from their war-torn home country.
Mohammad Kurdi, his wife and their five children have arrived at Vancouver’s airport into the welcoming arms of Tima Kurdi, who is privately sponsoring them as refugees in Canada.
The family became known around the world after photographs circulated showing the body of three-year-old Syrian refugee Akan Kurdi, who died alongside his five-year-old brother and mother as they tried to reach Greece by boat.
“Thank you to the Canadian people,” she told a crowd of reporters gathered around the family. “Thank you to Prime Minister Trudeau for opening the door and showing the world how everyone should welcome refugees and save lives.”
Speaking through his sister, who translated from Arabic, Mohammad Kurdi also thanked Canadians and their government for making his dreams come true.
“I’m happy! Very happy!” he said. “We almost lost hope.”
