Ceuta: Migrant boy swims to shore with plastic bottles tied to himself

A migrant boy with plastic bottles tied to himself arrived at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta after swimming across the Spain-Morocco border.

Footage showed soldiers talking to the visibly distressed boy from the shore before he ran onto El Tarajal beach and attempted to scale a wall of rocks.

Around two-thirds of the roughly 8,000 migrants who made it to the enclave - and who Spanish authorities said included unaccompanied children as young as seven - have been expelled, the interior ministry in Madrid said.
