A container outside the morgue's entrance at the University Hospital of #Alexandroupolis is used for the preservation of unidentified bodies, which, if not identified in a period usually of between 3 to 6 months, will be buried in the #cemetery of Sidiro village. 
As of June 2021, 25 unidentified bodies were in the container, most of them young men of Pakistani origin.

The main cause of #death for people attempting to cross the land border between #Greece and #Turkey through the #Evros River (Meriç in Turkish) is drowning, while others die from hypothermia during the winter, or from pathological causes.
A smaller proportion dies trying to cross railway lines. Until 2008, when Greece signed the #Ottawa Treaty on anti-personnel mines, the second cause of death was from anti-personnel mines near the river.
