Spain declines emergency over Ceuta crossing
Reports have indicated the death of 9 migrants by drowning while attempting to cross the border into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where hundreds of people tried to swim around the border fence to reach the area. Ceuta's authorities are calling on the Madrid government to declare a national emergency and deploy additional military and security forces, but the Spanish government has refused, fearing the impact of migration. They have confirmed that the current flow does not pose a threat to national security. Cooperation with Morocco is helping to reduce crossing attempts, while Spanish authorities are preparing for an urgent visit to Ceuta to assess the situation.
