Ceuta's 48-Hour Migrant Surge Surpasses All of Spain's 2025 Arrivals

About 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain's Ceuta enclave starting July 30, 2026, with 72 deaths confirmed. That two-day influx topped the 54,597 processed across Spain in all of 2025 — itself the lowest irregular-arrival figure in five years after a 36–37% drop. Spain deployed a floating barrier; most migrants returned to Morocco, citing hunger and hostility.
