"Let the fish eat your flesh!"
69
275127

And remember -- she can't swim.
76
308267
2048
Sjetite se - ona ne zna plivati.
05:22
But she let go and she started moving
her arms and her legs,

Ali pustila se i počela micati
ruke i noge,

05:27
thinking, "This is swimming."

And miraculously,

Bassem was a good swimmer,

Bassem je bio dobar plivač,

11:16
But his heart soon stopped,

and Doaa had to release
the little boy into the water.

Kasnije istog dana,
11:25
she looked up into the sky with hope,
171
673072

because she saw two planes
crossing in the sky.

And she waved her arms,

But that afternoon,

2903
Ipak, tog popodneva,

11:46
And she said, "Please, God,

And it had become dark,

Ona je izuzetan borac.
16:15
But I have to ask:
241
963215
2564
Ali moram pitati:
16:17
what if she didn't have to take that risk?
242
965803
2272
što bi bilo da nije morala tako riskirati?
16:20
Why did she have to go through all that?

hosting so many refugees?
251
1005265
2666
koje pružaju utočište tolikim izbjeglicama?
17:01
And why, the root question,
252
1009113
2862
I zašto, glavno pitanje,
17:03
is so little being done to stop
the wars, the persecution

253
1011999
6396
se toliko malo čini da se
zaustave ratovi, progoni

17:10
and the poverty that is driving
so many people

254
1018419

i siromaštvo koje tolike
ljude goni

17:14
to the shores of Europe?
255
1022999
1852
ka europskim obalama?
17:17
Until these issues are resolved,
256
1025999
2609
Dok se ti problemi ne riješe
17:20
people will continue to take to the seas
257
1028632
3335
ljudi će nastaviti kročiti
morskim putevima
morskim putevima
17:23
and to seek safety and asylum.
258
1031991
3429
u potrazi za sigurnošću i azilom.
17:28
And what happens next?
259
1036103
1658
I što je sljedeće?
17:30
Well, that is largely Europe's choice.
260
1038253
2831
E pa to je uvelike izbor Europe.
17:33
And I understand the public fears.
261
1041108
3031
Ja razumijem strahove javnosti.
17:37
People are worried about their security,
their economies, the changes of culture.

262
1045005

Ljudi se boje za svoju sigurnost,
gospodarstva, kulturne promjene.
gospodarstva, kulturne promjene.
17:43
But is that more important
than saving human lives?
than saving human lives?
263
1051893
4141
Ali je li to doista važnije od
spašavanja ljudskih života?
spašavanja ljudskih života?
17:48
Because there is something
fundamental here
fundamental here
264
1056859
2779
Ima nešto fundamentalno ovdje
17:51
that I think overrides the rest,
265
1059662
2804
što je, čini mi se, važnije od ostalog,
17:54
and it is about our common humanity.
266
1062490
3562
a to je naša zajednička humanost.
17:58
No person fleeing war or persecution
267
1066719
4469
Niti jedna osoba koja bježi od rata i progona
18:03
should have to die
crossing a sea to reach safety.

268

ne bi smjela umrijeti

18:14
One thing is for sure,
270
1082753
1167
Jedna stvar je sigurna,
18:15
that no refugee would be
on those dangerous boats

271
1083944
3183
niti jedna izbjeglica
ne bi bila na tim opasnim brodovima
ne bi bila na tim opasnim brodovima
18:19
if they could thrive where they are.
272
1087151
2348
da može napredovati tamo odakle jest.
18:21
And no migrant would take
that dangerous journey

273
1089523
3278
I niti jedan migrant ne bi
krenuo na taj opasan put

18:24
if they had enough food
for themselves and their children.

274
1092825
3886
da ima dovoljno hrane za sebe
i za svoju djecu.
i za svoju djecu.
18:28
And no one would put their life savings
275
1096735
2619
I nitko ne bi dao svoju životnu ušteđevinu
18:31
in the hands of those notorious smugglers
276
1099378
2793
u ruke tih zloglasnih krijumčara
18:34
if there was a legal way to migrate.
277
1102195
2427
kad bi postojao legalan način migracije.
18:37
So on behalf of little Masa
278
1105471
3595
Stoga, u ime male Mase
18:41
and on behalf of Doaa
279
1109090

i u ime Doaae
18:43
and of Bassem
280
1111383

i Bassema
18:45
and of those 500 people
who drowned with them,
who drowned with them,
281
1113131
5137
i onih 500 ljudi koji su se utopili,
18:50
can we make sure that they
did not die in vain?
did not die in vain?
282
1118292
3143
možemo li se pobrinuti
da nisu poginuli uzalud?
da nisu poginuli uzalud?
18:54
Could we be inspired by what happened,
283
1122308
3667
Može li nas to što se dogodilo nadahnuti
18:57
and take a stand for a world
in which every life matters?
in which every life matters?
284
1125999
5951
da se zauzmemo za svijet
u kojem je svaki život važan?

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Melissa Fleming - Voice for refugeesMelissa Fleming sheds light on their devastating plight and remarkable resilience of refugees.
Why you should listen
Almost 60 million people in the world today have been forcefully displaced from their home - a level not seen since WWII. As many as four million Syrian refugees have sought refuge in neighboring countries. In Lebanon, half of these refugees are children; only 20 percent are in school.
Melissa Fleming, Head of Communications and Spokesperson for the High Commissioner at UN's High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), calls on all of us to make sure that refugee camps are healing places where people can develop the skills they'll need to rebuild their hometowns. Investing in this, she says, may well be the most effective relief effort there is. This inspires her and the teams at the UNHCR to tell stories of the individuals who are displaced.
Fleming's 2017 book, A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea, was born out of the story of Doaa Al Zamel, told her in TED Talk.
Fleming was named senior advisor and spokesperson for UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, in October 2016.
