Migration crisis in Ceuta: more than a thousand migrants swim to Spain

Over 1,000 migrants have swum from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave Ceuta in recent days, overwhelming the city’s reception facilities which accommodate around 80,000 residents. At least four migrants have been recovered dead, while hundreds remain stranded in the streets due to overcrowding. The Spanish Supreme Court recently ruled against immediate deportation of migrants who cross by sea, ending 'hot' expulsions without legal process. This has led to increased attempts to reach Ceuta, with some migrants being intercepted at sea by Moroccan security forces and then transported inland. While cooperation between Morocco and Spain has improved, regional governments on the mainland refuse to accept minors, forcing them to cling to vehicles heading to the mainland. The situation highlights ongoing tensions over migration policies and humanitarian obligations.
