Unverified reports from Ceuta describe a new escalation overnight, with migrants breaking into homes, widespread chaos in the streets, and local police unable to contain the situation. The Spanish enclave in North Africa has been in crisis for days following a mass influx of migrants from Morocco.
As The Zioneer reported, earlier this week Ceuta residents were seen chasing migrants through the city, and a journalist reported 18 migrants killed in riots. Videos circulated showing the border gate still open as migrants flowed through, with bodies on the ground. The crisis has drawn international attention, with Spanish authorities struggling to regain control.
The overnight reports add to the picture of a deepening humanitarian and security emergency in the enclave, though the details remain unconfirmed from official sources.
