Spain is struggling with a mass crossing after thousands of migrants crossed the border from Morocco into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta. The border emergency overwhelmed local authorities, with 15 people recorded dead at the time of writing, after desperately attempting to build new lives on European soil.
Reports say that the causes of death were mostly from swimming across Tarajal breakwaters from the Moroccan coast, often without proper flotation devices. Officials and humanitarian organisations fear that the death toll could rise as rescue operations continue.
