- 5 years ago
Just weeks after the grim discovery in the UK, another refrigerated truck filled with migrants have been discovered... this time in northern Greece.
Greek police said on Monday that the 41 migrants, mostly from Afghanistan, were not injured, but seven of them were taken to hospital as a precaution.
The truck's refrigeration system was turned off at the time of the discovery.
After stopping the truck on a highway for a regular check, police arrested the driver from Georgia.
This comes as Greece has been struggling with the biggest surge in refugee arrivals since 2015.
