Clashes at Ceuta border in Morocco
The efforts of migrants, mostly young people and children, to reach Ceuta across the sea are increasing, with thousands crossing the border into the Spanish territory since last week. This surge is caused by a Spanish court ruling that prevents the immediate return of migrants who enter Spanish waters by swimming back to Morocco. As a result, there have been cases of drowning and the deaths of several migrants. Spanish authorities have declared a state of emergency and tightened security measures, with the military intervening to strengthen security in the area. Hundreds of minors face logistical challenges as the influx of migrants continues, while authorities continue cooperating with Morocco to address this crisis. The number of crossings through the Strait of Gibraltar has increased by 17%, despite an overall reduction in flow of 37% compared to the previous year.
