Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the North African coast, is grappling with a surge in migrants attempting to swim across the border from Morocco.
The recent influx, exacerbated by dense fog, has overwhelmed local authorities, with up to 1,500 individuals trying to enter in a single night.
The city's temporary migrant centers are operating beyond capacity, prompting Ceuta's president, Juan Vivas, to urgently call for national assistance.
The situation has sparked political tension, with calls for a unified state response to address the crisis.
Despite efforts by Spanish and Moroccan authorities to manage the crossings, the pressure remains high, highlighting the ongoing challenges of migration in the region.
