Tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco crossed into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta this week. Many tried to swim or walk across the border, and dozens died during the crossing. Spanish authorities sent soldiers and police, installed a floating barrier, and most migrants have since returned to Morocco.
Why it matters
The surge shows how migration pressures on Europe's borders can quickly overwhelm local resources. It also highlights the humanitarian risks and the political debate over border security in the EU.

Reports say between 25,000 and 60,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta.
What caused the deaths?
People died from drowning, stampedes, or injuries while trying to cross the border.
What did Spain do in response?
Spain deployed soldiers and police, and put up a floating barrier to stop further crossings.
