The coastal town of Zarzis in Tunisia has witnessed a significant exodus of its population due to irregular migration. The town, known for its picturesque beaches and vibrant fishing industry, has seen a surge in residents embarking on dangerous sea journeys in search of better economic opportunities in Europe. The impact of this migration wave is such that it has turned Zarzis into a "ghost town," with schools, shops, and local services shutting down due to the depopulation.
