Thousands of migrants attempted to reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by swimming from Morocco, triggering a humanitarian emergency and renewed political debate over migration in Europe.
The report examines the aftermath of the mass crossing, where Spanish authorities introduced additional sea barriers while many migrants returned to Morocco. Opposition politicians have criticized the government's handling of the crisis, while reports suggest misinformation on social media encouraged many to attempt the dangerous journey.
The crossings resulted in dozens of deaths, highlighting the human cost of one of the most significant migration incidents at Europe's southern border.
