At least 18 people have been found dead in #Bulgaria in an abandoned truck near the capital #Sofia, officials said.
The #truck was transporting timber and carrying #refugees and #migrants hidden in a compartment, the country’s interior ministry said in a statement on Friday.
Health minister Asen Medzhidiev said 34 survivors, including five children, were rushed to hospitals in Sofia and some were in critical, but stable condition.
“There has been a lack of oxygen to those who were locked in this truck. They were #freezing, wet, they have not eaten for several days,” Medzhidiev told reporters.
