Tunisia Telegraph: The Garden of Africa Cemetery in Jerjis
The article discusses the "Africa Garden" project in Jerjis, Tunisia, established as an extraordinary burial site for victims of drowning accidents in the Mediterranean Sea. Opened in June 2021 by artist Rachid Qureishi, it features approximately 200 numbered graves and a multi-faith prayer hall, aiming to serve a humanitarian purpose and honor those who lost their lives while trying to reach Europe. The project is a response to the ongoing death crisis at sea, where it is estimated that over 21,000 migrants have died since 2014. Its goal is to grant dignity and memory to the victims, especially those who have been displaced, symbolizing a tragic ordeal for thousands of families, although identifying their remains is often difficult due to the condition of the bodies.
