Spain’s Ceuta Overwhelmed as Thousands Remain After Migrant Border Rush
Authorities say 862 migrant minors need care as reception centers overflow and Spain prepares emergency measures after most arrivals were sent back to Morocco.
- On Monday, hundreds of migrants remained camped on El Trampolin beach in Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta as local authorities struggled to manage thousands still in the territory after last week's massive border rush.

- Vivas told newspaper El Pais there is "no alternative but to put in place whatever means are necessary" to ensure Morocco cannot repeat the crisis, fueling ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
