Around 49,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta in a single day, officials say — nearly five times the daily peak of Europe's 2015 migration crisis. At least 19 people died during the crossings.
The influx, made by sea and land, overwhelmed local authorities in the territory of 80,000 residents. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez travelled to Ceuta to coordinate the government's response, while Spain and Morocco moved to reinforce the border. France announced tighter checks on its border with Spain in response to the crisis.
