If Greece can sufficiently exploit its resource base with just 60% of its population, yes, there are far more Greeks than they need, and the rest are being ill-treated because their presence is seen as a burden rather than an asset. And wasn't Somalia officially in famine just a month ago?
On reflection, I shouldn't have said "no ethical way to fix". A fundamentally different civilization, freed from our punitive "if anyone will not work, neither shall they eat" attitude, needn't make people suffer for being regarded as superfluous by the economy. And defense against "why should we feed you?" is largely why societies lacking trusted safety nets do overbreed whatever resource base is available, including foreign donations.
