A local in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta has opened to her home to feed and clothe hundreds of migrants daily. But many other locals see the migrants as a burden.

Residents report growing insecurity and frustration, while volunteers such as Sabah Hamed Mohamed continue providing food, shelter and support.
