Social Media Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Bulgarian police have made four arrests after 18 people, including a child, were found dead in an abandoned truck in Bulgaria, its government says. The truck appeared to have been illegally transporting a group of migrants. Thirty-four people, including five children, were rushed to hospitals and some were in a critical condition, the health minister said. The people in the truck were cold, wet and had not eaten in days, he said. It is believed to be the deadliest incident involving migrants in Bulgaria. Bulgaria has long struggled to deal with large numbers of people trying to enter the European Union from Turkey. The truck - found near the village of Lokorsko, 12 miles (20km) north-east of Bulgaria's capital, Sofia - was illegally transporting the migrants in hidden compartments in which they had suffocated, police said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
