Photos have been shared in Spain showing the human side of the migrant crisis in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta this week.
One photo shows a volunteer with the Spanish Red Cross comforting a migrant (above) on a beach in Ceuta. The young woman, identified as Luna, told Spanish TV she did not know the man’s name, only that he had come from Senegal.

Another photo which captured Spain’s attention was of Juan Francisco Valle, who has been hailed as a hero after rescuing a baby from the waters off Ceuta.
Mr Valle, a diver with the Spanish Guardia Civil police force, said the child was «completely soaked and very pale» when he reached the scene.
