Migrants hid in fuel truck

Twenty-eight would-be migrants, who had endured two days without food or water crammed into a fuel truck, were yesterday recuperating at a detention center in Elassona, central Greece, authorities said. Church officials and the local Red Cross have been providing them with food, medicine and clothing. The remaining 35 illegal immigrants discovered in the truck, which had been en route to Athens from Alexandroupolis, were sent to police stations in Trikala and Karditsa.
