Spain announces it will build a containment fence along Ceuta’s border with Morocco after a surge of people attempting to cross into the Spanish territory, which results in a rising death toll. Multiple outlets report that the Spanish government says the number of deaths reaches 67, including people who drown and others who are killed in a stampede while trying to cross a breakwater barrier. The reports describe a large influx during the week, with NPR and The Mirror saying tens of thousands of people cross back into Morocco after the initial rush. While the figures vary by outlet, the common elements are the high number of casualties, the involvement of drowning and crush injuries connected to attempts to cross the barrier area, and Spain’s response. PBS and other sources attribute the fence plan to the Spanish government, framed as a containment measure after the frontier incidents. The coverage is based on government statements and reporting that follows the movement of people between Ceuta and Morocco in the aftermath of the rush.
