There has been a lot of debate over refugee crisis and myriads of people have just ignored them, politician’s keep on chanting their famous one liner ‘we are doing enough’. The photograph of young cute little boy Aylan clad in a red t-shirt facing down on the beach without a soul in Turkey shows that this is the high time to take action.

There are countries that are coming out to support refugees and providing them with all the amenities they needed. Now, the people are showing their interest towards refugees and trying to help them out with their problems. The most interesting game Super Mario have been designed to make people understand the pain of refugees without saying a single word. A Syrian artist has created a version of Super Mario Bros to tell of the hardship facing his compatriots as they cross Europe.

Samir al-Mufti, an Istanbul-based artist told BBC that the experiences of his friends who have made the perilous journey helped to shape the design of the game. Five months ago my best friend drowned in the sea while travelling from Izmir [Turkey] to Greece. The engine on the boat exploded. That's when I got the idea for the video. Mufti added that he wanted to tell the story through a medium that needed no words or language. Super Mario, which celebrated its 30th birthday this weekend, seemed perfect.
