Migrant deaths in Ceuta increase to 72 amid border surge

Five additional bodies were discovered along Ceuta’s coastline as the region faces the aftermath of a significant migrant influx from Morocco, with at least 72 reported dead. Over 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave during the surge, prompting 22 EU states to call for coordinated border measures, while Spain has reinforced patrols and installed a floating barrier. Most migrants have since returned to Morocco, but the death toll may rise as recovery efforts continue.
