WorldCeuta mass crossing puts EU migration system to the test
At the end of July, Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta was struck by a massive wave of illegal crossings. About 70,000 migrants risked their lives leaving Morocco and attempting to reach Ceuta by sea or on foot. Hundreds of others reached Melilla. The Spanish government said 75 people died during the crossing, turning the episode into a severe test for the European Union’s migration system.
