A surge of approximately 70,000 migrants crossed from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in just 48 hours, overwhelming border defenses and leading to a diplomatic crisis within the European Union. Many migrants swam to avoid fortified fences, resulting in at least 88 drownings. Spanish authorities, with Moroccan cooperation, have largely returned the migrants, though some non-Moroccan nationals and unaccompanied minors were permitted to seek asylum. This event has reignited debates about immigration policies and border control within the EU, drawing parallels to the 2015 migration crisis. AI
