Seven children are reported to have taken themselves ashore in Ceuta, where they were handed over to regional authorities.
The spokesperson for the Spanish government in Ceuta states that about 100 people tried to take themselves ashore when the fog lay thick over the enclave, which "made it harder to see the people". He confirms at the same time that seven children have been taken care of.
In recent weeks, an increasing number of people have tried to take themselves ashore in Ceuta. At the end of July, over 50 children swam to the city, which is located on the North African Mediterranean coast.
The authorities warn of an imminent collapse of the reception center in the enclave as more and more migrants try to get there, writes The Guardian.
