NIJAR, Spain (Reuters) - In shanty towns outside the polythene-covered market gardens of Almeria in southern Spain, doctors' charity "Medicos del Mundo" provides health checks and food to migrants left without work during the coronavirus outbreak.

Restrictions on how many can travel per car implemented in mid-March as part of Spain's strict lockdown measures mean many migrants cannot reach fields to pick produce.
