Austrian officials solving migrant deaths on land
by Adrianna Martinez


70 refugee bodies were discovered in a truck abandoned on the side of a highway. Authorities have determined they most likely suffocated and were escaping from war ravaged Syria. Authorities have arrested three Bulgarian citizens and one Afghan citizen who have connections to the truck. The deaths of the refugees have revealed to authorities, they are most likely dealing with human traffickers preying on refugees. The tragic  deaths of these refugees reveal the danger and uncertainty many of the migrants and refugees encounter when trying to flee from their war ravaged homes in the Middle East and Africa, to escape to Europe. This is a tragic and unfortunate event of people who are just trying to be safe and free from war, that's occurring in their homeland. This reminds me of the Great Migration and the fear and uncertainty the people felt while aboard the ships crossing the dangerous ocean to a land that was unknown to them.

  1. This is scary and dangerous, many migrants will begin to feel that they have no where to be safe if things like this continue to occur.
