Ceuta: Children among thousands of migrants in desperate swim from Morocco to Spanish enclave

The Spanish government has deployed troops to Ceuta to patrol the border with Morocco after thousands of migrants swam into the northern African enclave, a source from the Interior Ministry said on Tuesday. Soldiers will patrol the border along with Spanish police. “This starts immediately,“ the source said, without specifying how many troops will be deployed. A spokesman for Ceuta’s government delegation said soldiers will work with police in sensitive locations within the enclave to maintain order on the streets.
