Spain’s enclave Ceuta raises alarm as thousands cross border from Morocco

Authorities in the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta have requested that Madrid declare a national emergency and provide military assistance following a massive influx of migrants crossing the border from Morocco in recent days. Estimates indicate that up to 2,000 people have entered the Spanish territory in an attempt to reach Europe.

Footage from the area captured crowds walking around breakwaters to gain entry into the enclave. In response to the growing crisis, local authorities have raised the alarm, prompting the urgent appeal to the central government for emergency measures and military support to handle the situation.
