According to Spanish authorities, 49,000 migrants arrived in Ceuta in the last 24 hours. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
Ceuta is a Spanish enclave on the northern coast of Morocco. This influx of migrants is a new record. A similar situation was observed in 2021.
The Spanish government has taken control of the situation and is mobilizing additional forces. It is assumed that most migrants may be Moroccan citizens.
This event shows the intensification of the migration crisis in Europe. Spanish authorities may request assistance from the European Union.
