Migrant deaths in Ceuta surge to 72 after border rush

The situation in Spain's North African exclave of Ceuta is normalizing after a mass migrant rush saw approximately 50,000 people cross from Morocco. Over 48,300 of these migrants have since returned to Morocco, according to Spanish authorities. The influx was reportedly spurred by social media messages circulating claims that the border was open. During the crossings, at least 72 deaths were confirmed, highlighting the perilous nature of the journey. Residents of Ceuta remain indignant about the events. Far-right leader Santiago Abascal visited the enclave and accused the Spanish government of being subservient to Morocco in its handling of the crisis. The incident underscores the persistent challenges faced at the border between Spain and Morocco.
