Evros: Two migrants dead – Possible attempt to cross the river
Two migrants lost their lives near Didymoteicho in Evros, Greece, with their nationality still unidentified.
Two migrants have died in the Evros region near Didymoteicho, Greece, with their ages estimated between 30 to 40 years and their nationalities yet to be determined. They were transported to a local hospital shortly after midnight, but despite medical efforts, one was declared dead on arrival while the other, initially showing signs of life, succumbed despite attempts at resuscitation.
Reports indicate that the deceased migrants were found in an area known for particularly low temperatures, which adds to the tragic circumstances surrounding their death as they may have been attempting to cross the Evros River to enter Greece. Initial assessments suggest that the high water levels in the river could have contributed to the difficulties faced by the migrants in their perilous journey.
Authorities have been notified, and an autopsy is anticipated to determine the exact causes of death for these individuals. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by migrants in their attempts to reach safety and the harsh conditions they often endure, underscoring the urgent need for humanitarian support and policy reconsideration regarding migration along this critical and dangerous route.
