Hundreds of migrants are swimming from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, overwhelming border security, local authorities said on Wednesday.

“In the last few days, more than 1,500 migrants, including adults and minors, have reached Ceuta by sea,” the leader of Ceuta’s government, Juan Jesús Vivas, told journalists. “The reception centers are collapsed and saturated.”
