A Turkish humanitarian agency Support for Life (Hayata Destek) has initiated a campaign to memorialize the Syrians who died at sea attempting to flee the violence in their country. The agency has put floating headstones on the sea in remembrance of the people who drowned. Since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, more than 4,6 million people have left their homeland and thousands died in the Mediterranean Sea, the deadliest route of 21th century. Only a few of them were ever found; many of them are unknown and lost.
