Dozens dead as thousands of migrants surge into Spain's Ceuta enclave

At least 57 people died and thousands were left stranded after a mass crossing from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta this week. Tens of thousands of migrants rushed the border, overwhelming local forces and prompting Spain to deploy troops. Moroccan officials blamed the surge on misinformation spread online, while the European Union called an emergency meeting. Most migrants who crossed have since returned to Morocco, but hundreds remain. The crisis has sharpened tensions between Madrid and Rabat over migration control, and rescue operations are still under way along the coast. This report covers how the crossing unfolded, the response from both governments, and what the crisis means for Europe's southern border.
