About 60,000 migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory’s leader says
About 60,000 migrants have arrived in the Spanish territory of Ceuta in just 24 hours, according to the leader of the region, Juan Jesús Vivas. The sudden influx of migrants occurred on Monday, with many using inflatable swimming rings and rafts to cross the border from neighboring Morocco into the Spanish enclave.
Vivas stated that the situation was unprecedented and accused Moroccan authorities of not doing enough to prevent the migrants from crossing into Ceuta. He described the situation as a “crisis of solidarity.” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that he would visit Ceuta to address the situation and ensure normalcy is restored.
The Spanish government has deployed troops from the military to patrol the border and assist in returning the migrants to Morocco. The European Union has also expressed its support for Spain and its willingness to provide assistance if needed.
Morocco has not yet released an official statement regarding the incident. However, tensions between Spain and Morocco have been heightened in recent weeks over issues related to Western Sahara and the presence of a Western Saharan independence leader in Spain for medical treatment.
The sudden influx of migrants has raised concerns about the humanitarian situation in Ceuta, with reports of many migrants being unaccompanied minors. The Spanish authorities are working to process the migrants and provide them with the necessary support and care.
The situation in Ceuta remains fluid, with efforts underway to address the immediate needs of the migrants and restore order at the border.
