Spain installs floating barrier in Ceuta
Civil Guard police started laying the new barrier at 7:50am on the Tarajal breakwater, one of the main points used by people trying to enter the tiny Spanish territory, the government said in a statement.
Spain said migrant crossings nto its North African enclave of Ceuta had stopped overnight as police began installing a 500-metre floating barrier on Saturday off its border with Morocco following a mass rush that killed at least 67 people.
The pneumatic barrier, alongside a line of anchored naval buoys, is designed to stand 30 to 70 centimetres above water and extend as much as one metre below the surface, it added, while a channel between the barriers will allow Civil Guard vessels to patrol the area.
