Spanish exclave in North Africa sees migration surge

Ceuta is an autonomous Spanish city that lies just north of Morocco on the North African coast. In recent weeks, hundreds of migrants have arrived here, swimming up to eight hours from Morocco under nighttime fog in an attempt to migrate to the European mainland.

The irregular migration has tested Ceuta's capacities. Lines at soup kitchens are getting longer and longer, and temporary shelters are housing five times as many migrants as planned. 

DW's Jan Philipp Scholz reports from Ceuta, speaking to migrants who survived the dangerous trip across the Moroccan border and sympathetic residents whose patience is being tested.
