The transcript discusses the burial of unidentified bodies, including a young girl, in Lesbos, Greece. These individuals died trying to reach Europe from Syria. The cemetery, once a WWII mass grave, now serves as a burial site for refugees and impoverished Greeks. The lack of proper procedures and respect for religious customs in burying refugees is highlighted. The cemetery bears witness to the ongoing migration crisis in Europe, with bodies of Kurds, Iraqis, and Afghans also present. Since the beginning of the year, 11 new graves have been added, with more bodies awaiting burial. Over half a million people have arrived in Europe by sea this year, with over 100 deaths or disappearances reported in recent weeks.
