On the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas, a dead body count of at least 46 persons who are thought to be in-migrants was discovered inside an abandoned truck.
Four children and 16 other persons, according to a fire officer, had also been vacated to a infirmary.
The survivors had heat fatigue and heat stroke, and they were” hot to the touch.”
San Antonio, Texas, is a crucial center for human traffickers and is located 250 kilometers(150 miles) from the US- Mexico border. Once they’ve managed to enter the country, unauthorized migrants are constantly met by mortal traffickers in secluded localities and transported there using lorries.
“They had families…and were likely trying to find a better life. It’s nothing short of a horrific, human tragedy.”
