Dead refugees on Samos pile up because there’s nowhere to put the bodies (disturbing pics)

18Disturbing images of refugee  bodies piled up in a Greek island morgue at the Greek hospital  of Samos – stuck there – because there is simply nowhere else to put them and doctors are simply understaffed, and unable to handle the volume of work required to bury the dead. The problem is expected to get worse over winter as more people drown while trying to make their perilous journey.
