Renewed large-scale attack on Melilla fence
This morning, the Bab Sitta border crossing witnessed a large collective attempt by over 1,600 people to cross into the occupied city, reminiscent of the events of May 2021, which saw thousands of migrants flooding the area. Many of those involved tried to reach Sitta using various methods, including swimming across the sea and walking along the beach, amid a state of confusion and heightened security alert. Participants in the attempt ranged in age, including children under ten years old, increasing the risks for minors. The incident prompted widespread security mobilization and efforts to regain control of the situation, with concerns about potential casualties or missing persons due to the dangerous maritime conditions and the repeated crossing attempts. These developments come two days after repeated sea crossing attempts that resulted in the drowning of some migrants and the rescue of others, as authorities continue to monitor the area and conduct patrols along the coastline.
