A desperate migrant boy has employed the use of waste plastic bottles to keep himself afloat in the water as he tried to beat security.
In a short video shared by Sky News on Instagram, the boy formed a ring of bottles around his waist as he swam fiercely.
When the camera caught his face, he had a pleading look as he stretched his hands. The same media gathers that he was trying to reach the Spanish enclave called Ceuta.
Within one hour that the video went live, it has gathered over 83,000 views and many comments on the platform.
