Diocese of Ceuta calls for solidarity and prayer over migration crisis, tens of thousands of people have crossed the border illegally

The Catholic Church in Ceuta, an autonomous city in northern Africa, has issued a statement expressing deep concern over the current migration crisis affecting the region. In recent days, tens of thousands of migrants have arrived in Ceuta from Morocco via sea and land, with some estimates suggesting over 60,000 people entered illegally in a single day. The Spanish government has deployed additional police and military units to the area due to the overwhelming influx. Local authorities have called for emergency measures, including declaring exceptional circumstances, while shops have closed and residents have been affected. The situation has also led to increased activity by smugglers exploiting legal uncertainties, according to Spanish officials. Meanwhile, the Church has offered assistance to the state and local authorities, pledging human and material resources to support efforts to manage the crisis in a coordinated manner.
