SECTION 4
This story highlights the refugees’ plight,/their courage,/and the united efforts of many helpers.
In 2015,/a family left Iraq with their cat Kunkush/to escape from Islamic State forces. They walked to reach a refugee smuggler/and left Turkey on a small boat/licensed to carry 25 passengers,/but actually carrying 60 people/to Lesbos Island in Greece.
Kunkush’s 4,000 kilometer adventure began/when he leapt out of his basket on Lesbos. Refugee supporters worked hard/to find his family,/using flyers and the Internet. Four months later,/Kunkush and his family were reunited in Norway. Kunkush was not just a pet,/but a symbol of life/and hope for refugees.
The refugee crisis is not someone else’s business/but everyone’s. Thank you.
