Thousands of Migrants Still Stranded in Ceuta Following Orchestrated July Border Crossing Surge

In late July 2026, around 72,000 people crossed into Spain’s Ceuta enclave from Morocco, overwhelming facilities and spilling thousands onto beaches and roadsides where many remain today. A police intelligence report concludes Moroccan authorities planned and directed the surge, with gendarmes guiding groups to specific points despite prior Spanish warnings of extreme risk. Spain’s government blames smugglers and disinformation, while locals protest the strain on their 83,000-resident city and call for stronger border action amid rising tensions.
