Dozens dead as tens of thousands storm Spain's Ceuta border from Morocco

At least 57 people have died and more than 60,000 people have crossed into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta after a mass breach of the border from Morocco. Spain has deployed troops to the territory and announced a temporary center to speed up the expulsion of migrants who have no legal claim to stay. Italy has demanded that Spain be suspended from the Schengen area over fears of a fresh migration crisis. Humanitarian groups called for a coordinated EU response, and Brussels scheduled emergency talks with Spain and Morocco. The events mark one of the largest border crossings in recent European history and have put renewed pressure on EU migration policy.
