(VOVworld) – Hundreds of African migrants have tried to enter into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa by swimming from Morocco or scaling a barbed-wire fence.
In this photo released by Cruz Roja in Ceuta on Friday, Dec. 25, 2015, belongings left behind by migrants are seen at the fence that divides Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. |
Moroccan forces intercepted over 120 migrants but 182 others managed to get into Ceuta by climbing over the fence or swimming into the territory.
The Spanish Red Cross said it gave clothes and shoes to the migrants before they were taken to a temporary detention centre in Ceuta.
