What happened, for context
Morocco's Foreign Ministry denied involvement in the mass migrant crossing into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta on July 30-31, 2026, stating there are 'no facts' establishing Moroccan authorities' involvement. More than 70,000 migrants entered Ceuta during the surge, which resulted in at least 100 deaths and sparked EU infighting over migration policy.
