57 Dead in Ceuta Border Crossing
The attempt at mass crossing towards the occupied city of Ceuta resulted in the death of at least 57 people by drowning while trying to swim around the border barrier in the Tarajal area. The death toll gradually increased as rescue operations continued, with the total number of victims since the start of the attempt reaching around 86 people, in one of the most bloody illegal migration incidents in the region recently. Spanish authorities are continuing efforts to identify the bodies and repatriate some of the victims to their home countries, while search operations for the missing persons are ongoing. This is happening amid large gatherings of participants—around 50,000 in number—including young people, families, women, and minors—who attempted to reach the territory either via land routes or by swimming.
