A man has died after more than 30 people were found in a shipping container from Belgium at Tilbury Docks in Essex, South England, BBC reported on Saturday.
Police said that the discovery was made on Saturday when the ship, which had arrived from Zeebrugge, Belgium, was being unloaded.
Two people have been taken to hospital while others with "significant health problems" are being treated by ambulance crews.
"Thirty-one people, including adults and children of both genders, were found inside," according to a statement released by the police.
"One man has sadly died and the others have significant health problems. They are being treated by ambulance crews and are being taken to local hospitals," said the statement.
A Basildon Hospital spokeswoman said 19 people, including seven children, were currently being treated.
The East of England Ambulance Service sent seven ambulances, two rapid response cars, two doctors and a hazardous area response team to the scene.
A spokeswoman said: "Our initial priority is to assess the level and nature of any injuries, and ensure that those people in most need are treated first and taken to hospital."
