Massive crowd gathers at Ceuta border
The number of migrants attempting to reach the Spanish city of Ceuta by swimming across the Strait of Gibraltar has increased, most of whom are minors. In recent days, the arrivals have ranged between 1,500 and 3,000 people, predominantly from Morocco. These influxes have led to a humanitarian emergency, with four migrants drowning during their latest attempts. Ceuta's authorities have called for military intervention and the declaration of a national state of emergency. Due to a Spanish court ruling prohibiting the return of migrants arriving by sea, irregular expulsions have surged, especially as this has resulted in an increase in unaccompanied minors. This situation presents significant challenges for the city’s administration and has led to accusations against human trafficking networks. The security and humanitarian situation at the border has deteriorated considerably. Meanwhile, Spanish and Moroccan authorities are continuing coordination efforts to address the crisis.
