Spain’s government reports that the death toll in the migration crisis at the border of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, has risen to 67. The figures are attributed to incidents during attempts by migrants to cross from Morocco into Ceuta, including drownings and injuries suffered in a stampede connected to efforts to reach or breach a breakwater barrier. Several outlets say the crisis involves a surge in crossings around late July 30 and 31, 2026, with tens of thousands of people later moving back toward Morocco. Reports also indicate Spain increases border security, including the installation or reinforcement of physical barriers along the breakwater fence into the sea after the initial breaches. One outlet reports that most of those who entered Ceuta have already returned to Morocco, while another describes soldiers and police overseeing the return of remaining young migrants on Saturday. Separate reporting cites that many migrants have crossed back, with more than 48,300 reportedly returning to Morocco as Spain steps up security. Overall coverage focuses on the updated fatality count, the circumstances of deaths, and the ongoing reversal of crossings.
