Spanish Military Deployed to Ceuta as Hundreds Cross Moroccan Border
Spain has deployed military units to its North African enclave of Ceuta after hundreds of migrants entered from Morocco, joining 1,500 who crossed in recent days. A 'humanitarian emergency' has been declared following the recovery of nine bodies. The surge was triggered by rumors of an open border at the Moroccan town of Fnideq. The incident has caused diplomatic tension within Europe, with Italy calling for Spain's suspension from the Schengen zone.
