Hundreds of migrants enter Spain’s Ceuta enclave as authorities warn of humanitarian crisis

Spanish authorities have increased security around the enclaves in recent years through increased surveillance, barrier reinforcement, and improved bilateral relations with Morocco, but people continue to attempt to cross.

Spanish media estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 people entered Ceuta on Thursday, according to Reuters, but said that the Guardia Civil had not confirmed the figure.

Vivas said the bodies of 60 people had been recovered at sea in recent months, RTVE reported.
