Migrants from Morocco are arriving en masse in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on July 30.

"Hundreds of migrants have poured into the Spanish city of Ceuta, and a state of emergency has been declared in the city...> Madrid is sending army reinforcements after an appeal from the government of Ceuta," the publication says.

It is specified that the migrants entered the city by swimming, moving on inflatable circles, and also broke into the city by land through the gates. Local entrepreneurs are closing shops and organizing self-defense, fearing riots.

The agency estimates that the death toll from an attempt to cross the Ceuta border in recent months has reached 60 people: on Thursday, July 30, nine more bodies were found. 200 police officers and 60 military personnel arrived from mainland Spain to strengthen the protection of the enclave.

Al Hadath TV channel reported on June 22 that the Moroccan authorities have banned the purchase of jet skis and travel on them in most cities on the northern coast of the country. It is noted that maritime transport is used to transport illegal migrants to Spain, human trafficking and drug trafficking. The Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Morocco and Spain, is between 14 and 44 km wide, with an average range of about 100 km for a jet ski.
