Hundreds of migrants have entered Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco over the past week, the territory's leader has said. Spanish media estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 people entered Ceuta on Thursday, according to Reuters, but said that the Guardia Civil had not confirmed the figure. It also said more than 1,500, mostly young Moroccan migrants, had reached Ceuta over the past two weeks. The surge has prompted comparisons with May 2021, when around 8,000 people entered Ceuta over a matter of days, exacerbating diplomatic tensions with Morocco. Spain's Ceuta and Melilla enclaves, which are located in North Africa, represent the European Union's only land border with Africa.
