The discovery of around 100 naked men at the Greek-Turkish border has been described as "very distressing" by the UN agency for refugees.

The two nations have laid blame for the fate of the 92 migrants on one another.

Greece assigned Turkiye the blame, calling its "behaviour" a "shame for civilization."

Turkey referred to the allegations made by its neighbour as "false news" and charged it with "cruelty."

The United Nations' refugee agency demanded a probe as both sides laid blame on each other and expressed their "deep sorrow" at the distressing stories and photographs.

Close to the country's northern border with Turkiye on Friday, 92 men—some of whom had injuries—were found naked. Greek police claimed to have saved all of them, as reported by the BBC.&nbsp;

They claimed that data from their investigation, along with that of Frontex inspectors from the EU border agency, showed that the migrants entered Greek territory from Turkiye on rubber dinghies.

"Border policemen... discovered 92 illegal migrants without clothes, some of whom had injuries on their bodies," the statement said.

According to Greek authorities, the men received first aid, clothing, and food immediately.

How and why the men lost their garments remained a mystery.

The guys, according to Frontex, were primarily from Syria and Afghanistan, and the organization's fundamental rights officer had been alerted to a possible rights breach.

Greek minister for civil protection, Takis Theodorikakos, accused Turkiye of "instrumentalising illegal immigration" in the latest in a row over migration between the neighbours.

In a speech to the UN last month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that Greece had "oppressive policies" against immigrants and had turned the Aegean Sea into a "cemetery."

In 2015 and 2016, when around one million migrants arrived in Greece, mostly via Turkiye, fleeing conflict and poverty in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, Greece was at the centre of a major migration crisis in Europe.

Since then, there have been fewer arrivals, but according to Greek police, there have been more recent attempts to enter Greece across the Turkish land border and its islands.

'Deeply distressing': UN condemns the discovery of 92 naked migrants at Greece-Turkiye border

Syrian state TV said on Saturday that the death toll from a migrant boat that sank off the Syrian coast after sailing from Lebanon earlier this week has risen to 94.&nbsp;

The episode was the bloodiest thus far because an increasing number of Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians have been trying to exit crisis-torn Lebanon by sea in hopes of finding better lives in Europe. The value of the Lebanese pound has fallen more than 90%, causing tens of thousands of people to lose their employment, and thousands of families who were once middle class are now living in terrible poverty because they have no money to buy anything.

The relatives of the victims, according to Syrian authorities, have begun to enter into Syria from Lebanon to assist in recovering the bodies and identifying their loved ones.

According to Mohammed Hassan Ghabbash, the health minister for Syria, 20 individuals have been saved and are being treated at the al-Basel hospital in Tartus, a seaside city, in the country. With order to aid in the search operations, medical authorities have been on high alert since Thursday afternoon, the speaker noted.

With a population of 6 million people, including 1 million <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/bulgarian-coastguard-rescues-38-migrants-from-black-sea-518873">Syrian</a> refugees, Lebanon has experienced a catastrophic economic downturn that has pushed more than three-quarters of the population into poverty as of late 2019.

It used to be a nation that took in refugees from wars and crises in the Middle East, but the current economic crisis, which is the result of years of mismanagement and corruption, has drastically changed that.

Hyperinflation has caused prices to soar, leading many people to sell their possessions to pay smugglers to convey them to Europe as the migration has increased recently.
