June 11, 2017: After receiving training from NGOs, they have been working for the past month to register, collect information, photograph the bodies to identify them, and keep records of each buried migrant. In Zarzis, on the Tunisian coast near the Libyan border, Chemseddine Marzoug, a former fisherman who is now unemployed, has been volunteering for 10 years to provide a sandy burial for those who have drowned in the Mediterranean. As volunteers for the Tunisian Red Crescent, Chemseddine and his colleague Mohamed Trabelsi have been burying the bodies of migrants found at sea or washed up on the beaches of southern Tunisia for 10 years in a makeshift cemetery at a municipal landfill. This spring, the death toll has been very high—27 bodies were recovered last month.
