Pa je brod ljutito odjurio
04:29
and a half an hour later, came back

"Let the fish eat your flesh!"
69
275127

05:14
Bassem said to her, "Please let go,

05:20
And remember -- she can't swim.
76
308267
2048
I sećate se - ona ne zna da pliva.
05:22
But she let go and she started moving
her arms and her legs,

Ali ona se pušta
i počinje da pokreće ruke i noge,

05:28
And miraculously,
Bassem found a life ring.

79
316671

I nekim čudom, Basem je pronašao šlauf.
05:33
It was one of those child's rings

ruke i noge su joj visile sa strane.
05:46
Bassem was a good swimmer,
84
334835
1941
Basem je bio dobar plivač,

pa je držao za ruku
i probijao se kroz vodu.

05:54
Around them there were corpses.

Around 100 people survived initially,

But when a day went by and no one came,
89
351083
4317
Ali kako je dan prošao i niko nije došao,
06:07
some people gave up hope,
90
355424
1825
neki ljudi su izgubili nadu
06:09
and Doaa and Bassem watched

as men in the distance took their
life vests off and sank into the water.

One man approached them

97
381750
2666

And he handed little Malek
over to Bassem and to Doaa,

I predao je malenu Malek Basemu i Doi,

And then she went away and drowned.
149

A onda se odmakla i udavila.

So Doaa, the 19-year-old refugee

Sunce je peklo po danu.

On the fourth day in the water,

11:00
a little boy, just four years old.

167
659024

"Otišla je samo da ti nađe vodu i hranu."
11:16
But his heart soon stopped,
168
664388

Međutim njegovo srce je uskoro stalo
11:18
and Doaa had to release
the little boy into the water.

169
666405
3673
i Doa ga je morala spustiti u vodu.
11:23
Later that day,
170
671023
2025
Kasnije tog dana,
11:25
she looked up into the sky with hope,
171
673072
3279
pogledala je u nebo ispunjena nadom
11:28
because she saw two planes
crossing in the sky.

11:32
And she waved her arms,
hoping they would see her,

Mahala je rukama u nadi da će je videti,
11:36
but the planes were soon gone.
174
684937
1856
ali avioni su uskoro nestali.
11:39
But that afternoon,
as the sun was going down,
as the sun was going down,
175
687317
2903
No tog popodneva, dok je sunce zalazilo,
11:42
she saw a boat, a merchant vessel.
176
690244
2856
videla je brod, trgovačko plovilo.
11:46
And she said, "Please, God,
let them rescue me."

177
694109
4017
I rekla je: "Molim te, Bože, da me spasu."
11:50
She waved her arms and she felt
like she shouted for about two hours.

And it had become dark,

12:16
But Doaa looked down and asked,
"What of Malek?"
"What of Malek?"
185
724353
3507
Međutim, Doa je pogledala dole i pitala:
"Šta je s Malekom?"

12:20
And they told her the little baby

Ona je neverovatan borac.
16:15
But I have to ask:
241
963215
2564
Ali moram da pitam:
16:17
what if she didn't have to take that risk?
242
965803
2272
šta da ona nije morala da rizikuje?
16:20
Why did she have to go through all that?

16:57
hosting so many refugees?
251
1005265

koje zbrinjavaju tolike izbeglice?
17:01
And why, the root question,
252
1009113
2862
I zašto, ovo je suštinsko pitanje,
17:03
is so little being done to stop
the wars, the persecution

253
1011999

je tako malo učinjeno da se zaustave

17:14
to the shores of Europe?

na obale Evrope?
17:17
Until these issues are resolved,
256
1025999
2609
Dok se ovi problemi ne reše,
17:20
people will continue to take to the seas
257
1028632
3335
ljudi će nastaviti da idu preko mora
17:23
and to seek safety and asylum.
258
1031991
3429
i da traže sigurnost i azil.
17:28
And what happens next?
259
1036103
1658
Šta sledi?
17:30
Well, that is largely Europe's choice.
260
1038253
2831
Pa, to je najvećim delom
na Evropi da odabere.

17:33
And I understand the public fears.

People are worried about their security,
their economies, the changes of culture.

17:43
But is that more important

1051893

No, je li to važnije
od spašavanja ljudskih života?

17:48
Because there is something
fundamental here

264
1056859

Jer ovde imamo nešto temeljno
17:51
that I think overrides the rest,
265
1059662
2804
što mislim da potiskuje sve ostalo,
17:54
and it is about our common humanity.
266
1062490
3562
a tiče se humanosti svih nas.
17:58
No person fleeing war or persecution
267
1066719

Jedno je sigurno,
18:15
that no refugee would be
on those dangerous boats

nijedna izbeglica se ne bi našla
na tim opasnim brodovima

18:21
And no migrant would take
that dangerous journey

da je imao dovoljno hrane
za sebe i svoju decu.
za sebe i svoju decu.
18:28
And no one would put their life savings
275

I niko ne bi stavio
svoju životnu ušteđevinu

18:31
in the hands of those notorious smugglers
276
1099378
2793
u ruke tih ozloglašenih krijumčara,
18:34
if there was a legal way to migrate.
277
1102195

da je postojao legalan način za migraciju.
18:37
So on behalf of little Masa

možemo li se postarati za to
da nisu umrli uzalud?
da nisu umrli uzalud?
18:54
Could we be inspired by what happened,

Može li ono što se desilo da nas podstakne
18:57
and take a stand for a world
in which every life matters?

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.
