Since January of 2021, 677 people have died along the Mediterranean coast from Libya into Tunisia. Rachid Korachi, whose brother drowned while trying to reach Europe, recently opened a cemetery for others who have died on their dangerous migrations. The cemetery opened in early June with a plan for 600 graves and is already a third full. Korachi says that he opened the cemetery to make a burial ground, one with presence and intelligence, so that one day the families, the fathers, the mothers, the tribes, and the countries know that their children are in a heavenly place, the first step to heaven.
