Hundreds of migrants rush Spain's border
Over 350 migrants stormed the border between Morocco and Spain at Ceuta yesterday, officials said, days after one of the largest rush of arrivals over the frontier in more than a decade.
The young migrants forced their way through the high border fence into the Spanish North African territory, ecstatic to have finally crossed into a European Union state.
Some kissed the ground and shouted "Thank you lord" and "Viva Espana", although several had bloodied hands and feet as well as torn clothes after making it through the barrier.
Ceuta and Melilla have the EU's only land borders with Africa, so are entry points for migrants.
