Death Toll in Spain-Morocco Border Crisis in Ceuta Reaches 67
The diocese pledged collections and other resources as more than 40,000 migrants entered Ceuta and at least 41 died, El País reported.
- The death toll in the Ceuta border crisis with Morocco has climbed to 67, the Spanish government said Saturday, August 1, 2026, as rescue operations continue in waters near the El Tarajal crossing.
- Police officials reported up to 300 illegal entries per hour this week, with the sudden influx representing a nearly 50% increase in Ceuta's population and forcing thousands to sleep in streets and parks.
- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned that uncontrolled immigration poses a "concrete threat" to Europe's security, while Finland's Interior Minister Mari Rantanen urged "all European countries must support Meloni's proposal."
- France's Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez ordered authorities to "immediately strengthen controls at the Spanish border" and activated the Rapid Intervention Border Force for in-depth checks as Meloni proposed suspending the Schengen area, which allows border-free travel among 29 European countries.
- Spain has begun installing a containment barrier along the breakwater fence while authorities grapple with the thousands of migrants remaining in Ceuta, marking the largest migration crisis in the territory's history.
