The United Nations’ refugee agency has said it is “deeply distressed” by reports of nearly 100 naked migrants at the border between Greece and Turkey. “UNHCR is deeply distressed by the shocking reports and images of 92 people, who were reported to have been found at the Greek-Turkish land border, stripped of their clothes,” the agency tweeted Sunday. “We condemn such cruel and degrading treatment and call for a full investigation into this incident,” it added.
“Following an investigation by Greek police and officials from the EU border agency Frontex, it was found that they [the migrants] were pushed into Greek territory, via Evros river, in dinghies from Turkey to Greece,” police added in a statement on Twitter. The statement added Greek authorities had immediately provided the migrants with clothing, food and first aid.
