Migrant Deaths Rise from Morocco to Ceuta
The number of fatalities from the migrants' attempt to enter Spanish territory in Ceuta rose to 18 on Thursday, while between 2,000 and 3,000 people crossed the border, most of them before noon, according to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior. Spain has sent military and police reinforcements to Ceuta, which is one of the European Union's land crossings with Africa, amid ongoing efforts by migrants to reach Europe, with many attempting to swim around the border fence. The Spanish government confirmed that it will ensure the safety of its citizens and borders, while rejecting the declaration of a national state of emergency due to concerns over migration.
