Desperate migrants try to HANG themselves in Athens square as swamped Greece warns rest of Europe it won't become a 'warehouse of souls'

Two desperate men yesterday attempted to hang themselves (pictured) in a square in the centre of Athens as frustrations grew with border closures that have trapped tens of thousands in the country. One of the men, a Pakistani, was left unconscious (pictured, inset) after tying a noose made from twisted lengths of fabric to a tree and was taken to hospital. Greek officials estimate 20,000 migrants have been stranded there after neighbouring Macedonia abruptly shut its border on Monday to anyone not Syrian or Iraqi.
