Record number of migrants reach Ceuta
The occupied city of Ceuta experienced an unprecedented influx of migrants, with approximately one thousand swimming attempts to cross from Moroccan shores in a single day. This prompted widespread mobilization of rescue teams and naval forces on both sides of the border, with the Royal Moroccan Navy and the Spanish Civil Guard participating in rescue and interception operations, rescuing many before they reached the city's shores. Spanish authorities confirmed that the situation reflects a concerning escalation in illegal migration efforts, with continued attempts from multiple coastal points, emphasizing the need to strengthen logistical and naval means to monitor maritime space and combat migrant-smuggling networks. These developments represent one of the largest waves of irregular migration in recent years and raise significant humanitarian and security issues, requiring ongoing coordination between Morocco and Spain to mitigate risks.
