Spain Reports 49,000 Migrants Entered Ceuta from Morocco in 24 Hours. Spain’s Interior Ministry has announced that an estimated 49,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa over the past 24 hours, marking one of the largest single-day migration surges in recent years.According to the ministry, the migrants entered the enclave by both sea and land after departing from neighbouring Morocco.
The unprecedented influx has placed significant pressure on Spanish authorities, who are working to manage the situation amid heightened concerns over border security and humanitarian needs.Ceuta, one of Spain’s two autonomous enclaves on the North African coast, has long been a focal point for irregular migration into Europe due to its land border with Morocco.Spanish authorities are expected to continue monitoring the situation closely while coordinating with relevant agencies to address the challenges arising from the large-scale arrivals.
