68 People Found In Shipping Container At UK Port by tucky200(m): 11:33am On Jun 05, 2015
London - British emergency services said Friday they
had found 68 people locked in a container at a port in
southeast England, including two pregnant women.
Seven people, including the women, were taken to
hospital but none are in a serious condition, according
to a statement from the East of England Ambulance
Service.
Emergency services were called to Harwich
International Port, which is mainly used by ferries to
the Netherlands, shortly after 10:00 pm on Thursday
evening.
"A total of 68 people were assessed at the scene with
seven being taken to Colchester General Hospital for
further assessments and care," the ambulance service
said.
"The patients who were taken to hospital were
suffering from abdominal and chest pains and were
feeling faint. None are in a life-threatening or serious
condition.
"The remaining 61 were released to the UK Border
Agency officials."
The ambulance service spokesman said the container
was thought to have come from the Netherlands, and
the people inside comprised of a range of different
nationalities.
Thousands of migrants enter Britain illegally each year
on lorries crossing from the French port of Calais to
Dover on the southern English coast, but rarely in
shipping containers.
