Ceuta migrant arrival and fatalities
The Spanish Ministry of the Interior reported that around 49,000 migrants arrived in the city of Ceuta within 24 hours, marking one of the largest waves of immigration the city has witnessed in years. Many of them attempted to cross the border from Morocco by land and sea. The influx of migrants overwhelmed the capabilities of local authorities and humanitarian agencies, with at least 19 people losing their lives during the attempt—some due to drowning and others in stampede incidents. Violent clashes occurred around the Ceuta border crossing between migrants and security forces, including vehicles and a bus being set on fire. Authorities resorted to deploying the army to return the migrants to Morocco, amidst ongoing security and humanitarian tensions in the region.
