Around 50,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta this week. Many entered by land and sea, but most later returned to Morocco. At least 67 people died, some drowning and others in a stampede while trying to cross a breakwater barrier.
Why it matters
The surge shows the strong pressure on Europe's borders from migration and the risks migrants face. It also prompted Spain to strengthen its border controls, affecting EU migration policy.
