People hide among broken bottles and toxic ash in attempt to reach Europe

Spanish police release video and photos of people from north Africa found in trucks and containers

Spanish police have released photographs and video footage of people trying to reach Europe from north Africa by hiding in containers of broken bottles and in sealed bags of toxic ash.

Last Friday, officers from Spain's Guardia Civil rescued 41 people who were trying to enter Europe via the port in the Spanish enclave of Melilla in north Africa. The migrants were found in trucks, containers and articulated lorries waiting to be loaded on to ships bound for the mainland.
