As many as 30 African migrants this week took advantage of flood damage to cross into the Spanish enclave of Melilla, from neighboring Morocco. Heavy rains have caused two rivers to breach their banks in the Spanish city on the north African coast. The floodwaters swept away part of a barrier erected to prevent migrants crossing into Melilla. Police are looking for the sub-Saharan African migrants, who waded through mud and water near a floodgate. Melilla is a target for hopeful migrants, aiming to make the journey on to Spain or other EU countries. (BBC)
