What happened
The EU will hold emergency talks Tuesday on the Ceuta migration crisis after more than 50,000 people crossed from Morocco into Spain’s North African enclave by land and sea, with at least 67 deaths reported. On Aug. 1, Spain began installing a 500-meter floating barrier along Ceuta’s sea border with Morocco after authorities said crossings had largely stopped overnight. Spanish officials moved to reinforce security and accelerate repatriations, while 22 EU member states called for coordinated action and stronger external-border controls.
