Thousands of migrants arrive in Ceuta - a Spanish territory in Africa - some even arriving after dark. Ceuta, described by the BBC as a "magnet" for African migrants, is home to 80,000 people. Over 6,000 migrants swam or crossed into Ceuta, a Spanish city on Morocco's coast, many arriving exhausted.
