'Deeply distressing': UN condemns the discovery of 92 naked migrants at Greece-Turkiye border
An image of some of the 92 naked men at the Greece-Turkiye border was tweeted by Greece's migration minister
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.

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.
