Reuters: Six alerts before migrant surge in Ceuta
Media outlets circulated reports that Spanish authorities received six warnings in the weeks leading up to the mass influx of more than 70,000 migrants toward the city of Ceuta. However, their response was limited, and they did not take sufficient measures to prevent the attempts. After a court ruling on June 29th mandated the immediate return of the migrants, crossing attempts increased, especially by swimming, with videos emerging showing some migrants successfully reaching the shore. This fueled further mass attempts. The recent events have resulted in the deaths of 94 people, amid concerns that migrant smuggling networks are exploiting the judicial ruling. Calls have been made to strengthen measures and reform policies through coordination between Morocco, Spain, and the European Union.
