June 11, 2017: On Ras Lemssa Beach, south of Zarzis, Chemseddine—a migrant’s life jacket found on the beach—shows me the spot where a woman, then a child, and finally a man were found last week: “They might have been from the same family.” In Zarzis, on the Tunisian coast bordering Libya, Chemseddine Marzoug, a former fisherman who is now unemployed, has been volunteering for 10 years to give those who have drowned in the Mediterranean a burial in the sand. 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 set up in a municipal landfill. This spring, the death toll has been very high—27 bodies were recovered last month.
