#migracijska kriza

Massive influx from Morocco into Ceuta raises questions about the security of the EU's external borders and the use of migrants as a tool of political pressure.

The Civil Guard is on standby following intelligence of a possible coordinated migrant crossing attempt on August 15, while the first migrant death has been recorded in an attempt to reach the enclave via paramotor.

After more than 50,000 people flooded into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, the neighboring Moroccan city of Fnideq has become a scene of despair, violence, and a humanitarian crisis.

Morocco's Interior Ministry has released its first official figure of 11 dead, while Spanish sources report at least 72 victims. The crisis has triggered political upheaval within the EU.
