Migrants Cross Border into Spanish Enclave of Ceuta
Mass border breach triggers EU diplomatic and political tension.
Event Overview
Between 50,000 and 60,000 migrants, primarily from Morocco, crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta over a short period. The event resulted in at least 57 to 67 deaths and prompted Spain to deploy troops and install a 500-meter sea barrier. The surge has led to sharp criticism of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's migration policies and sparked emergency calls for coordinated action from 22 EU nations.
