multitudes of migrants endeavor to swim towards the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by sea
Numerous migrants exploited the thick fog on Sunday and Monday mornings, utilizing it as a cover to swim towards the Spanish territory of Ceuta. Regrettably, numerous individuals were apprehended in the water and on Tarajal beach's southern border, which borders the enclave, within the past 24 hours, according to a representative from the Spanish Civil Guard in Ceuta, speaking to Reuters.
"We've collaborated effectively with Morocco," he stated. All individuals crossing the boundary into Ceuta's port city were detained by law enforcement and sent back to Morocco, unless they were minors or sought asylum.
The two Spanish enclaves situated on Morocco's Mediterranean coast, Ceuta and Melilla, are the only European Union territories with land borders connecting Africa. Migrants frequently aim to enter the EU through these locations, leading to the unfortunate loss of 23 lives two years ago.
The enclave of Ceuta, with its land border at Tarajal beach, has seen numerous migrant incidents in the past 24 hours. Despite Moroccan collaboration, many individuals seeking entry were found in the water or on the beach, attempting to reach the Spanish enclave as a protected enclave.
