Thousands attempt to cross into Spain’s Ceuta from Morocco

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Thursday that his government is mobilising all available resources after thousands of young Moroccans attempted to cross into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from neighbouring Morocco.

“The Government of Spain is fully committed to providing an immediate response to the situation in Ceuta,” Sanchez said in a post on X.

He said Spain is deploying “all necessary resources,” working with Moroccan and international authorities, and preparing measures to “restore normality as soon as possible.”

Sanchez added that he conveyed the government’s response to Ceuta regional President Juan Vivas, saying, “This is the time to build solutions, with responsibility and cooperation.”
