Tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta this week. Many tried to reach Europe by swimming or walking across the border. At least 67 people died, some drowning and others in a stampede. Most migrants later returned to Morocco voluntarily, and Spain has sent troops and built barriers to stop further crossings.
Why it matters
The event shows how migration pressures affect Europe’s borders and can lead to loss of life. It also influences Spain’s domestic politics and EU border policies.

What caused the deaths?
