*A white Red Cross worker who was filmed hugging an African migrant says she’s being harassed by racists online over the imagery.
Luna Reyes, 20, was forced to set her social media accounts to private after video/photos of her and the migrant sparked a wave of racist and sexist abuse, per MSN. According to reports, the migrant swam from Morocco to Ceuta last week. When Reyes approached the exhausted Senegalese man and offered him a bottle of water, he broke down and clung to her.
A Reuters journalist filmed Reyes embracing the sobbing man, who was among the 8,000 migrants who arrived into the territory on Tuesday in search of a better life in Europe. According to reports, most were rounded up by military officials and shipped back to their homeland.
