CCTV shows thousands of migrants storming border into Spanish enclave

"CCTV footage shows hundreds of people forcing their way though razor wire barriers into Spain's North African enclave of Melilla, highlighting increasing pressure on a rare land based route into Europe for illegal migrants.

More than 1,000 stormed fences into the enclave and about 400 had managed to breach the border, the Spanish city's mayor Juan Jose Imbroda said in a radio interview.

Immigrants from all over Africa regularly attempt to cross the fences at Melilla and a second Spanish enclave along the coast, Ceuta."
