An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.
The surge in those risking the perilous route has transformed the archipelago into a microcosm of the wider strain playing out across the EU as authorities struggle to deal with the bodies of those that die on their way.

'I came to apologise': Armenian relatives visit soldiers' graves after ceasefire deal
Anger and grief palpable among families who believe soldiers died in lost war for Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Yerablur military cemetery grows with each round of conflict over the territories in Karabakh, which is populated by ethnic Armenians, many of whom refer to it as Artsakh. The graves go back to the first war, from 1988-94, then through decades of border clashes and up to the present.

Call for memorial for British Jews whose remains were moved to mass grave in 1970s
Remains were moved from a cemetery in Mile End, east London, after it was bought by the forerunner of Queen Mary University London in 1973.
The remains of thousands of British Jews including Benjamin Disraeli's grandfather and the prizefighter Daniel Mendoza were reburied in unmarked mass graves to make way for a new university campus.
Half a century later, the Jewish organisation responsible for the graves has for the first time publicly acknowledged that the reburial contravened Jewish law and that there is no lasting memorial to the dead.
The removal of the human remains from what is now the campus of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in east London took place in 1973 after the site was acquired for the institution’s expansion.
The bones of more than 7,000 Jewish people who died mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries were placed in four mass graves at the new burial site near Brentwood, Essex, with no stones marking the names of the deceased.
The remains are the responsibility of the S&P Sephardi Community, originally the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Community of London, which sold its Nuevo cemetery in Mile End to Queen Mary College, the forerunner of QMUL.

Remains were moved from a cemetery in Mile End, east London, after it was bought by the forerunner of Queen Mary University London in 1973.
The remains of thousands of British Jews including Benjamin Disraeli's grandfather and the prizefighter Daniel Mendoza were reburied in unmarked mass graves to make way for a new university campus.
Half a century later, the Jewish organisation responsible for the graves has for the first time publicly acknowledged that the reburial contravened Jewish law and that there is no lasting memorial to the dead.
The removal of the human remains from what is now the campus of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in east London took place in 1973 after the site was acquired for the institution’s expansion.
The bones of more than 7,000 Jewish people who died mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries were placed in four mass graves at the new burial site near Brentwood, Essex, with no stones marking the names of the deceased.
The remains are the responsibility of the S&P Sephardi Community, originally the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Community of London, which sold its Nuevo cemetery in Mile End to Queen Mary College, the forerunner of QMUL.

Tunisian cemeteries fill up as hundreds of dead refugees wash up on coast
Hospitals, morgues and burial grounds under pressure, with more than 300 bodies found this year in just one region.
Authorities in Tunisia are considering building new cemeteries, as the country runs out of space to bury the dozens of refugees washing up every day on its shores.
The first three months of 2023 were the deadliest for people attempting to cross the central Mediterranean since 2017, according to the UN, with an increasing number of boats carrying asylum seekers wrecked at sea.
Bodies, including those of children and pregnant women, often turn up on the beaches of Tunisia, where they are collected and buried.
Last year, according to the Tunisian Red Crescent, more than 800 bodies were recovered in the Sfax region alone, and more than 300 have been found since the beginning of 2023. As a result, funerals are held almost every day to reduce the pressure on hospitals, local morgues have exceeded their capacity, and burial space in many municipal cemeteries to bury refugees, especially from sub-Saharan Africa, is running out.
New spaces are made for the new coffins after a record of 210 corpses were recovered from the sea in the past ten days at the Cemetery of Essada, near Sfax, where tens of migrants are buried. The morgue of the Habib Bourghiba Hospital in Sfax is exceeding its capacity
