据越南外交部，上月英国“死亡货车”惨案全部遇难者遗体和骨灰（其中7具遗体在英国火化）已全数运抵越南，并移交亲属。
至此，这起“偷渡悲歌”暂时告一段落。
Bodies and remains of all 39 Vietnamese dead in the Essex lorry incident have been repatriated as of Saturday morning, Vietnam News Agency reported.
据越通社报道，首批16名遇难者遗体11月27日由飞机运抵遇难者家乡，他们的家乡位于越南中北部，亲友手持白玫瑰迎灵。
其余23名遇难者遗体和骨灰于11月30日运回。遇难者遗体和骨灰抵达河内内排国际机场后，被移交给其生前家乡所在省份代表，由相关省份送回当地，交亲属安葬。

越南外交部副部长裴青山此前表示，为尽快让遇难者遗体归国，越南政府将先行垫付所需费用，遇难者家属可事后再将相关款项交给政府。
将死者骨灰运回越南的费用为1370英镑（约合1.2万人民币），而运送遗体的费用则为2208英镑（约合1.9万人民币）。
A total of 16 bodies and seven cremated remains arrived at the Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi Saturday morning, and then were transported home by ambulances.
The victims are from northern Hai Phong city, northern Hai Duong province, and central provinces of Nghe An, Ha Tinh and Thua Thien Hue.
On Wednesday, bodies of another 16 people were repatriated to Vietnam. Upon arrival at the airport, they were handed over to representatives of localities to be transported home.

目前，越南警方已经逮捕10名涉嫌与此事件有关的犯罪嫌疑人。上周一（25日），“死亡货车”的英国籍货车司机莫里斯·罗宾逊也承认协助非法偷渡，赚取不法所得。
10月23日，英国警方在埃塞克斯郡一辆从比利时驶入英国的货车上，发现39具遗体。英国与越南当局11月初证实，死者全为越南籍，大多数遇难者来自越南中部省分。
Earlier, Vietnamese Deputy Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son said that the government would advance funds to ensure the bodies and remains are brought home soon. The victims' families would then refund the government.
The fee to bring ashes to Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi city is 1,370 British pounds (1,771 U.S. dollars), while body repatriation in a zinc coffin costs up to 2,208 British pounds (2,854.5 U.S. dollars), according to the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

路透社称，糟糕的工作前景、环境灾难都是促使人们离开的因素。
受害者Nguyen Dinh Luong的父亲说，他的儿子“希望有更好的生活”而离家前往英国。
All 39 people found dead in a refrigerated lorry in the British county of Essex in October were confirmed to be Vietnamese nationals.
They had permanent residence in northern Hai Phong City, northern Hai Duong province and central provinces of Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh and Thua Thien Hue, according to Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security.

“死亡货车”案曝光以来，欧洲各地又多次发现冒着生命危险偷渡的非法移民。
- 当地时间11月4日，希腊北部的一辆冷冻卡车中发现41名移民，当时，大多数人健康状况良好，部分人员被送往医院。
- 当地时间11月13日，土耳其海岸警卫队宣布，在土西部爱琴海海域拦截262名企图偷渡到希腊岛屿的非法移民。
- 当地时间11月19日晚，荷兰警方称在一辆拖车冷藏集装箱内发现25名偷渡者，车上人员安全。
为了免受家乡的“贫穷和痛苦”，让家人过上更好的生活，很多偷渡者宁愿冒着生命危险钻进汽车底盘、躲进飞机起落架，也要奔赴梦想中的“远方”。
据中新网，以货车藏尸案中的越南义安人为例，在他们的家乡，全年人均GDP约1600美元，而在英国，仅在餐厅打工，就可月入近2000英镑。
人口贩运为何屡禁不止？非法移民的悲歌何时才能终结？
“如果时间能倒流，我绝不会让他走上这条路。”英国货车案遇难者Hoang Van Tiep的母亲说。

英国首相约翰逊在吊唁册签名时，曾写道，“英国政府谴责须为此罪行负责之人的冷酷无情，决意竭尽全力将行凶者绳之以法。
然而，若想彻底解决移民偷渡问题，也许应首先解决地区间的不平等问题，但这恐怕还需要不少时间。
正如澳大利亚南威尔士大学东南亚研究专家卡尔·塞耶所说——
“打击人口贩卖或偷渡将是‘一场永难停止的斗争’。”
