Videos circulating on social media appear to show the border gate in Spain still open, with migrants flowing through and bodies lying on the ground, according to reports. The footage emerges as the border crisis continues overnight.
Fresh footage circulating on social media in the last minutes appears to show the border gate at the Spanish enclave still open, with migrants streaming through and bodies visible on the ground. The videos emerge as the crisis at the border continues into the early hours of Friday.
As The Zioneer reported earlier tonight (00:57 Jerusalem), video documentation showed the continued influx of infiltrators through the night. Earlier on Thursday evening, The Zioneer reported that residents of Ceuta were chasing migrants through the city as Spanish police struggled to contain the unrest, following a mass influx of thousands of migrants from Morocco.
The new footage adds to the picture of an overwhelmed border. The number of bodies seen on the ground and the circumstances of the deaths remain unconfirmed. The Spanish government has not yet commented on the latest videos.
