Tiny dust-covered shoes, abandoned toys and children's clothes lie among the bombed-out remains of the Kobane home Aylan Kurdi and his family were forced to leave when Islamic State militants attacked.

The crumbling house in the war-torn Syrian city gives an insight into the devastation that ultimately led his mother and father, Abdullah and Rehan, to board a small boat in the dead of night with their two young sons in an attempt to reach western Europe.

Mohamad Kurdi, Abdullah's brother, has spoken about the family's terrifying life in Syria, his own journey to a refugee camp in Germany and his heartbreak on hearing the news his relatives had died.

Crumbling: Aylan and Galip lived in this house in Kobane, Syria, with their parents before an ISIS attack caused them to flee their home

Memories: A broken trike which once belonged to the brothers remains inside the house in Kobane they fled with their family in 2013
