An estimated 49,000 migrants have crossed illegally into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco in the last 24 hours, throwing the city in North Africa into disarray and causing a major headache for Pedro Sanchez’s government.
At least 19 people have been found dead in the water since the mass movement by land and sea into the tiny Spanish-held spit in North Africa on Thursday, and security forces are still wrestling to re-establish control of the border.
