Hundreds of migrants arrive in Spanish exclave of Ceuta

Hundreds of migrants and migrant women have arrived in Spain’s North African exclaves, specifically Ceuta, via sea routes from Morocco over recent days. The local president, Juan Jesus Vivas, described the situation as a 'total humanitarian and social crisis,' noting more than 1,500 people—both adults and minors—have arrived by sea, overwhelming reception centers. Spanish Interior Ministry officials stated they are coordinating across departments to respond quickly and efficiently, with Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska planning to visit Ceuta tomorrow to assess the situation. Moroccan authorities are cooperating closely, with security forces preventing large numbers of people from attempting to reach Ceuta from Morocco. Both Ceuta and the other Spanish exclave Melilla are the only EU territories with land borders to Africa.
