Video shows migrants running towards temporary camp in Ceuta

Police moved hundreds of migrants from the beaches of Ceuta to a temporary camp in the port area on Friday.

During the transfer, crowds of migrants rushed towards the site, with police struggling to contain people jostling for one of the 1,700 places available at the new tented camp.

The migrants had been living on the beaches for weeks following a record influx into the Spanish enclave.

More than 70,000 migrants streamed into Ceuta from Morocco on July 30 and 31 in an unprecedented, chaotic surge that left scores dead and sparked European Union infighting over the sensitive topic of immigration.
