NewzThousands of migrants have streamed into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa from Morocco, with at least 18 dying in the attempt, prompting Spain to deploy its military to restore the border. At least 34 people reported killed trying to cross into the Spanish enclave bordering Morocco. In the span of 24 hours, Spanish authorities estimate that over 49,000 migrants crossed in Spain from Morocco, with at least 18 dying as they tried to reach the enclave of Ceuta.
The migrants crossed the border by swimming across, sometimes spending hours in the water. The arrivals are way over half the population of the enclave. FRANCE 24's Sarah Morris tells us more from Spain.
