No graves visible at overgrown cemetery!

I have a relative who, during World War II, was buried in this quaint little cemetery which is found at the foot of the hill on which Mdina was once built.

I do not know who is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of this cemetery, however, until not so long ago, or before the busy thoroughfare between Saqqajja Hill and Mount St Joseph was reconstructed, this cemetery, although in a dilapidated state, was at least relatively decent.

Yesterday as I was driving along this motorway I decided to stop and pay a visit. What a shame! The iron gate at its entrance was partly open and the inside was blocked by large and abundant fig trees and other shrubs that grew wild all over the place. I tried to peep through this jungle but it was impossible; not a single grave was visible.

All I could do was to take this photo so that through the medium of this newspaper I would appeal to those who are responsible to clear the inside of the cemetery from the overgrown shrubs and trees and to secure the gate by placing a padlock. At least out of respect to those who were laid to rest, in peace, there!
