Illegals from Syria almost suffocated in a truck


During the inspection, a Syrian family was found in the truck van. Illegals were in a semi-conscious state due to heat stroke.

The driver of the truck is Turkish, and it seems that the Syrians intended from this country, neighboring Greece, to get to Europe. The authorities of the port of Igoumenitsa sounded the alarm when, after checking by the coast guard services of a heavy vehicle, there were … people among the containers with cargo. And they were in a very deplorable state.

We are talking about a 65-year-old mother with a 43-year-old daughter and a 25-year-old son, who were hiding in a truck. The dehydrated, choking people, who were in a semi-conscious state, were immediately sent to the Filiaton General Hospital for first aid.

The authorities deal with the truck driver. Recall that in Greece the transportation of illegal immigrants is almost a “everyday occurrence”, which, nevertheless, is strictly punished by law.
