Chaos in Ceuta by migrants; Spain mobilizes the army

Thousands of migrants, mostly young people, crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in Africa, leading Spain to deploy the military to ensure security amid a declared 'humanitarian emergency.' Several deaths have been reported among those attempting to reach Ceuta by swimming across the sea. Spain has also closed the border area with Morocco in Melilla. The situation has been described as 'absolute chaos' by a representative of the Spanish Civil Guard, who noted that the border had completely collapsed. Italy has called for Spain to be suspended from the Schengen zone due to its migration policies. This marks the largest influx of migrants into Ceuta since May 2021. The Spanish government has agreed with Morocco to repatriate individuals who entered illegally, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez plans to visit Ceuta alongside the interior minister.
