Original caption

The rush of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta last week began with a trickle. Encouraged by a handful of viral videos, including some posted by a Spanish news outlet intending to highlight the burden of migration pressures, the movement of a few dozen quickly turned into tens of thousands swimming en masse. North Africa Bureau Chief Alexander Dziadosz explains. We are deleting a previous video which contained an incorrect date. #ceuta #migrants #immigration #spain #emergency
