At least 72 people died after an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta beginning Thursday, with five more bodies recovered along the North African coast on Sunday. Spanish authorities said more than 1,000 people had been treated by health services since the surge began.

At least 72 people died after an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta beginning Thursday, with five more bodies recovered along the North African coast on Sunday. Spanish authorities said more than 1,000 people had been treated by health services since the surge began.

More than 48,000 of those who crossed had returned to Morocco within 48 hours, with Spanish police and troops patrolling Ceuta's streets on Sunday as the enclave largely returned to normal. A 500-meter floating barrier was installed off Ceuta's coast on Saturday to prevent further crossings.

Morocco's Interior Ministry said 11 people died in the crossing and attributed the mass movement to social media misinformation, human trafficking networks and misinterpretation of a Spanish court ruling banning the immediate return of migrants intercepted at sea. Spanish authorities similarly blamed criminal gangs for spreading related rumors.

Twenty-two EU member states issued a joint letter calling for coordinated border action following the Ceuta crisis, and Italy implemented a one-month suspension of its Schengen visa-free travel arrangement with Spain. The EU announced a video call to discuss a coordinated response to prevent further uncontrolled crossings.

Some analysts suggested Morocco may have allowed migrants to cross as diplomatic pressure on Spain, which recently improved ties with Algeria, Morocco's neighboring rival. A similar situation occurred in 2021, when around 10,000 migrants entered Ceuta after Morocco eased border controls.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, in a letter to EU leaders, described the reaction of some EU countries as "selfish." Pope Leo XIV addressed the situation in his Sunday prayers, saying he was following events "with concern" and hoping for a solution of "peace, stability and justice."
