These photos show the extreme measures migrants take to reach Europe
A picture of a sub-Saharan migrant hiding inside a suitcase in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in northern Africa, is putting the spotlight again on the extreme measures migrants take to reach Europe.
The man, a 19-year-old from Gabon, was trying to cross the border of Ceuta with Morocco inside the luggage of a 22-year-old Moroccan woman.
Police at the border crossing noticed the nervous behaviour of the woman and asked her to open the suitcase.
The migrant was immediately treated by doctors after suffering a shortage of oxygen in the case while the woman has been arrested for attempting to smuggle an illegal migrant into Spanish soil.
A similar episode also happened in Ceuta. A man and a woman, believed to be Guineans, were found hidden in the dashboard and in the hollowed-out backseat of a car. They received first aid while the vehicle's driver, a Moroccan man, was arrested.
The incidents took place as 1,100 migrants tried to storm the 6m (20ft) border fence which separates Ceuta from Morocco.
Among the injured were 50 Moroccan and five Spanish border guards. Two people were injured scaling the fence and were taken to hospital in Ceuta.
Ceuta and Melilla, Spain's other North African enclave, are Europe's only land borders in Africa and are often subject to desperate attempts by migrants living in Morocco to find a better life.
