Over 40 migrants found stuffed in van hospitalized in Croatia

‘A van intercepted in Croatia on Saturday was found to be carrying 62 migrants, many of whom were suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. A few had lost consciousness and required immediate hospitalization, local media reports.
The van, which had British license plates, was pulled over on the Belgrade-Zagreb highway near the Bosnian border after police noticed strange smoke coming out of it. Inside, the officers found 62 asylum seekers from Pakistan and Afghanistan who had apparently had nothing to eat for five days. Several migrants had lost consciousness due to carbon monoxide poisoning after spending hours in the cargo area of the van, the head of Croatian emergency medical care, Grba Buljevic, told HRT. Forty-two of the migrants had to be immediate hospitalized due to carbon monoxide poisoning and hypothermia, according to broadcaster HTV.’
