60,000 People Rush Into Spain's Ceuta Territory, 67 Dead

About 60,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta — a small piece of Spain located on Africa's coast — in late July 2026. That surpasses a similar 2021 crisis. Spain's government confirmed 67 deaths by August 1. Reuters reports online rumors and money struggles drove the rush, while some migrants said Morocco's border guards were letting people through.
