Migrants shelter on a sports field made available by a local residents' association and the Red Cross in the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta on August 7, 2026, following a mass influx of migrants from Morocco in recent days. Of the 72,000 migrants who reached Ceuta, 70,000 have returned to Morocco, according to official Spanish figures, which have recorded 80 deaths. Morocco's interior ministry has said 11 people died on the Moroccan side of the border, all but one by drowning. Those who remain in Ceuta -- including hundreds of unaccompanied children -- face dire living conditions with little access to food, water, shelter and sanitation.
