Tens of thousands flooded into Spain’s North African enclave Ceuta, triggering a chaotic humanitarian crisis as 60,000 people—70% of the local population—attempted dangerous crossings. At least 67 lost their lives, and 48,000 were returned to Morocco. Survivors warn others not to risk it, describing harrowing swims, tear gas, and water cannons. Spain deployed military forces, erected massive inflatable barriers, and blamed smugglers for exploiting vulnerable youth. The surge may have been fueled by a misinterpreted court ruling on deportations. While Spain claims control is restored, it’s calling for EU-wide cooperation to manage future crises.
