A sudden wave of thousands of migrants, many from Haiti, has sparked a humanitarian crisis at the US-Mexico border. The Texas border town of Del Rio is struggling to cope with the massive influx.
In response, US authorities have moved around 2,000 people to processing centers - as a first step to deporting them. Thousands of migrants - many of whom began their trek overland as far away as Colombia – are finding their long and often dangerous journeys stopped at the international bridge connecting Del Rio in Texas to Mexico's Ciudad Acuña. The situation is becoming desperate.
Overwhelmed by the surge of asylum seekers, the US Department of Homeland Security announced it will use a pandemic-related authority to immediately expel migrants back to Haiti without allowing them an opportunity to claim asylum.
But with the promise of a better life within sight, migrants refuse to give up their dreams of a new life in America. With no better option, than to hunker down, and hope – scores of people waded back and forth across the Rio Grande into Mexico to resupply, buying water, food and diapers before returning to the Texas side, and the uncertain wait under the bridge.

For most papers, the agreement is a win for Hamas and Benjamin Netanyahu, but a loss for ordinary Israelis and Gazans. We also look at emotional images of humanitarian workers saving or consoling migrants in Ceuta and finish with a damning report on BBC journalist Martin Bashir's interview with Princess Diana in 1995

At least 6,000 migrants have reached Spain's Ceuta enclave from neighbouring Morocco, a record number over a single day, Spanish officials say.
They say the migrants - who include about 1,500 minors - either swam around the border fences that jut out into the sea or walked across at low tide.
They are said to be mostly from Morocco. Spain says it has already sent some 2,700 back - but not the minors. Spanish troops have been deployed to the beach to help border police at Ceuta's main entry point - Tarajal, on the enclave's south side.
