Masses surge at Ceuta border
The crisis of migrant inflows to Ceuta continues, with thousands of people crossing, most of whom are minors from Morocco and other countries, by sea and over the borders, as reception centers are unable to accommodate the increasing numbers. A Spanish judicial ruling banning the deportation of migrants who arrive by swimming has led to an increase in informal crossings through the strait, resulting in several drownings and the rescue of dozens. Spanish authorities have called for declaring a national state of emergency and deploying the military to address the escalating crisis, which is being exploited by human trafficking networks due to the new legal situation. Despite an overall 37% decline in migration flows across Europe since the beginning of the year, the Strait of Gibraltar has experienced a 17% increase.
