Spanish authorities said more than 1,000 people had been treated by health services. Moroccan officials disputed the toll, saying 11 had died — mostly by drowning — and that they were fact-checking reports from the Spanish side. Mohamed Ahmed, a 43-year-old Sudanese man who said he swam four hours to reach the enclave after a truck dropped him near the border, told Reuters he would not go back. For Javier Santolaria, pastor of the Casa de Alabanza evangelical church in Ceuta, the week brought grief and a clear sense of obligation. As a pastor, Santolaria told Evangelical Focus he had been speaking with congregation members who felt "powerless and do not know how to respond."
