Spain Mobilizes Army in Ceuta After Mass Migrant Arrival
Spain has deployed its army to Ceuta after an estimated 49,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave from Morocco in just one day, overwhelming local services and triggering an urgent border security response. The massive arrival of migrants, which included thousands swimming across the border, has led to a humanitarian crisis in Ceuta, with the city's accommodation capacity pushed to its limits. The Spanish government has mobilized all available resources, including military units, police officers, divers, drones, and boats, to tackle the situation. The Moroccan government has been accused of deliberately facilitating the migrant surge by unloading trucks of military-aged men near the border.81 sourcesSee all sources
