Greek Island Runs Out Of Burial Ground Amid Flood Of Dead Refugees
A surge in the number of bodies of refugees whose boats capsized as they desperately tried to reach Europe has filled the burial grounds of the Greek island of Lesbos to capacity, the island’s mayor said, adding that over 50 bodies remain unburied.
As RT reports, The island’s morgues, cemeteries and emergency services have been overwhelmed with a record number of bodies of migrants who died trying to cross the Mediterranean in October. According to the latest UN data, over 218,000 people arrived in the EU during the month, beating the total annual number for the whole of 2014.
Some 744,000 migrants and refugees have arrived in Europe in 2015 alone, of which at least 3,300 died while making the journey.
Mayor Spyros Gallons told the Greek media that, while five funerals were held this weekend, 55 bodies remain at the morgue and the island is having a hard time finding burial ground for them.
“Yesterday we held five funerals, but there are still 55 bodies at the morgue,” NBC News quoted Galinos as saying. “Who could have anticipated such a carnage in the Aegean?”
Lesbos, with a population of 86,000, lies in the Aegean Sea near Turkey’s cost. It has served as one of the main destinations for refugees and other migrants trying to escape violence and poverty in Syria and other conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa.
On Monday, the tragic situation was exacerbated, as 11 refugees, most of them children, drowned in the Aegean Sea while trying to reach Lesbos. Moreover, on Sunday another 15 people, including six children, died in the Aegean after their boat capsized off the Greek island of Samos.
Galinos told the media that authorities are working on fast-tracking procedures for creating new burial ground next to the main cemetery.
The situation on the island has also prompted ambulance workers to protest state budget cuts that have downsized the number of emergency vehicles to only three, despite the increasing number of refugees.
As DW.com adds, Lesbos currently has 90,000 residents and 200,000 refugees...
Mytilene is the largest city on the Greek island of Lesbos, in the northeast Aegean Sea not far from Turkey. It is an attractive place with massive docks. From there many large ferries run daily towards Piraeus and Kavala near the Macedonian border.
And that is why there are thousands of refugees here - they want to keep going.
The north coast of Lesbos is an orange streak. Thousands of lifejackets lie on the beach as far as the eye can see, having fulfilled their purpose for the refugees crossing from Turkey. So do the many rubber dinghies that the volunteers pierced right after their arrival so that they couldn't be pushed back onto the sea.
The helpers come from England, the Netherlands, Spain and Germany. A few Greeks as well hurry about the beaches. But they limit themselves to "recovering" the valuable scraps of metals from the boats. By sunrise, some are already carrying away the motors of the boats that came in overnight. These are worth a few thousand euro a piece.
The so-called "hotspot" in Moria, a barrack outside of Mytilene, has become a textbook example of the way processing is handled in Greece. By now the Greek police and officials from Frontex - the European Union border agency - have managed to register more than 5,000 refugees a day. However, the registration is not valid across the EU. It is usually full of loopholes; the information provided by refugees is not tested for its truth.
In the end, everyone here receives a registration form that entitles them to travel on from Lesbos. As a matter of fact, the refugees are not allowed to leave Greece, and many will still be ultimately deported. But the authorities on Lesbos cannot do that themselves. Nor do they want to. They just want to sustain a bit of peace and order. And therefore as many refugees as possible must be moved on from the island, as fast as possible.

Angela Merkel should send Lufthansa planes to avoid these tragedies! While at it, drop off bags full of cash in Greece, load up the refugees departing for Germany. That way, the planes are full both ways. Wash, rinse, repeat ... problem solved </sarc>
Do what's been done when there are mass casualties since forever. Dig one very big hole and start piling them in.
Children of Men
Construct a large crematorium, cremate the bodies, load the ashes onto a barge, tow them out to sea and bury them.
Does anyone need a gann chart for this?
Also be sure to place the flag of the UN on the crematorium, and film the proceedings lest anybody gets confused as to who was doing what when and where.
Why is European land being wasted on the corpses of invaders?
Pile the bodies into C-17s and dump the cargo over Syria and North Africa as a warning.
Considering how most christians are treated in moslim nations and how moslim behave in western nations, i have no problem with this.
I prefer the drown than that the get on european land. I live in Belgium, and i have had enough with how the average moslim behave in my country.
Don't need any more of those savage's here.
Just let everyone know that they will receive a nice Greek Orthodox CHRISTIAN funeral.
You're WELCOME!!!!!
Thats to good for them. Put the death muslim body's thru the shredder together with the corpses of pigs. That wil keep them away.

The Nansen passports can be creamated as well.
It is difficult to leave the island of Lesbos, just ask Odessis ( Ulysses )
It's cool if you haven't pissed Poseidon off.
Coerced Fed to keep ZIRP throughout presidencey, thus creating massive bubbles. Check.

Obama might be one of the worse, but the worse was BUSH & CHENEY inc. They are still at it, even though they call themselves "democrats".
REMEMBER 911
Comparisons are unnecessary. Both regimes were unacceptable.
Attach parachutes to them and paradrop them over Poland. It will look like an invasion.
Drop them over France and watch for the white flags.
Ask Soros.
I'm sure Soros' numerous mansions are full of Syrian and African refugees.
He's such a caring globalist after all...
Soylent Green would solve the space problem and keep the invaders fed.
The orange life vests could be ground up, processed, seasoned, and BAM you've got McRibs!
and they said "arab spring" was over - how long ago?
;-)

Ain't the U.S. of A. just "peachy"!!!!
Thanks 'merika. You left the world a worse place than when you were founded.
The average 'merika citizen is just trying to survive and has done nothing wrong. SO FUCK OFF!
I thought that Muslims had to be buried at sea straight away, like Bin Laden.
Can I get off this fucking ride now?
I'm feeling nauseous.
What a fucking insane asylum the world has become.
I just read a comment to a newspaper article about migrants in Europe, written by a Greek. If he is to be believed, social order in many places in Greece is breaking apart under the weight of thousands of young single migrant men. Haunting the streets of Greece. Stealing from stores is the least of the disorder. These migrants are demanding housing from Greek authorites, who seem intent on spending what little money remains in Greece to try and meet migrant demands.
Bullets are cheaper
Where are the modern day Spartans?
No humour in this.
People have been fucked over by psychopathic whack-jobs through no fault of their own. Many have died.
Don't criticise those trying to escape a life not worth living, criticise those who caused the problem.
If the roof of your house had been blown off by a bomb and the rain you really have to worry about is metallic in nature, you might want to relocate too.
Well said. Don't blame them because we might become some in the US at one point in time. Btw, if Trump wins and builds the Wall, remember a "wall" works both ways.
I hope the wall does work both ways.
Why in the world would I want to go live in the hell holes those people are coming from?
If the wall keeps me from migrating into that area then so be it.
A lot of places that are hell holes are hell holes because of dickheads like you. (apologies to all self-respecting dick heads)
Apologies to you if my sarc detector is on the blink.
Actually those places are hel holes because of dickheads like YOU.
Instead of kicking them in the ass, you want to suck their dicks.
Change your screen name, because logic is not your strong point.
Try Emoman.
People who respect the rights of others and expect the same in return are always fucking things up aren't they"
Woof!
No doubt.
I criticize them for not staying and fighting, just like I would mock the man whose house lost its roof that he didn't rebuild and instead lived in his neighbor's front yard.
Soooooo.........you're saying you're not into communism and the redistribution of wealth and property?
Easy to say.
If the rain is 500lb bombs from fast moving aircraft, I doubt you'd be able to put up much of a fight.
Please think before typing.
1 smal problem with your comment. Most of them don't come from syria. The are economic immigrants using the syrian war as a excus to demand asylum. And because of my personal experience with moslims in my country, i hope every one of those boats sink and the all drown.
I'm not going to shed a tear.
Too bad there isn't an island we can put all the Mexicans so half of them can die. I'm a little sick of feeling like a foreigner in my own country.
Soon I'm not going to be able to buy anything at a local store without learning spanish. I saw a sign for employment at a store and it said ,"must speak Spanish".
It's hard enough to find a job, but now you need to speak a foreign languange to land one in an English speaking country.
I might just start kicking the fat fucking kids when I see them running around causing trouble everywhere because there is one mom and five kids.
Just remember: As different as you think Mexicans are, they are culturally closer to you than the Muslims are.
Not by much.
Rape culture in Islam and Mexico/Hispanic/Latino.
Child rape culture in Mexico.
Rape culture in Mexico.
Just type "Mexican Rape Culture" in your favorite search engine.
We're already aware, or should be, of the hundreds of thousands of street gangs we're importing from these countries.
I've never heard of Mexican culture before. So, I read your links and & still don't know about Mexican rape culture.
But, be resilient. The key to effective propaganda is to make your lie big, keep it simple, & keep repeating it.
As someone who has immigrated into the US, I will tell you that it pisses me off to the extreme. Every member of my family made a great effort to learn English.
I did not expect nor want documents in my native language and I made great effort to annunciate correctly.
I have actually written to Home Depot and bitched about all the signs in Spanish.
who cares? burn the corpses....and send the rest back to their shitholes
Ship them to the US and burry them in the Rose Garden. Of course, whatever prez will just brag about what good fertilizer they make and the next thing you know ScottsLawn will be importing bodies. That's how it is in the US.
ask Oblama, Bush and Dickless Cheney to volunteer a plot or two in their backyards
To be fair, drowning while trying to reach Lesbos sounds pretty much how we'd all love to check out someday.
Yeah, we'll all die and go to Vaghalla.
(HT CH)
Send them to the Zionist homeland, they will harvest the parts and Bar-B-Q the rest.
Lizards must eat regularly.
The Orthodox/Eastern Catholics do not approve of cremation. However, they will have to get over this and cremate these poor people. The Greeks are going to end up with cholera and similar diseases if they do not start immediately; there is not enough ground in the rocky soil of the Greek islands. These deaths are on Merkel's hands. The U.S. is destroying these countries, but she could have set up safe places outside of Europe for the genuine refugees (and to take a sane number of vetted ones through those places) instead of encouraging them to die this way.
"The Orthodox/Eastern Catholics do not approve of cremation."
This should be respected. The services can be conducted by some satanist "ministers" provided by the UN with the stipulation "no playing with the bodies no matter what you think baphomet has commanded."
Why won't they just burry the bodies in mass greave. That's how corpses are usually handled when too many ppl die. Same was in death camps.
Why bury them? Burn them.
Doesn't the Aegean Sea have sharks?
Oldie but Goodie:

Feed them to the other refugeese.
Tonight's special Ahmad stew and Muhammed burgers.
They're surrounded by water. Just throw them in it
