Hundreds of migrants are swimming from Morocco to the Spanish territory of Ceuta
Hundreds of migrants, including adults and minors, are swimming from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, overwhelming border security and causing reception centers to collapse. Over 1,500 migrants have reached Ceuta by sea in recent days, with bodies spotted at sea, while authorities cite a recent court ruling prohibiting immediate pushbacks and potential diplomatic tensions as contributing factors.
