The agent who saved the baby in the waters of Ceuta: “He was frozen, he barely moved”

“We took the baby, he was cold, frozen, he barely moved.” So Juan Francisco, of the Spanish Civil Guard stationed in Ceuta, told of the rescue of a newborn at sea, on Monday, during the massive wave of arrivals of migrants in the autonomous city. In a radio interview, the agent recalled some of the most dramatic episodes experienced on that first day: “The children and babies we saw we immediately went to get them, first of all we had to get them out of the water; sometimes we didn’t understand if what we saw were backpacks, clothes or babies, it was traumatic ”.
