It was one of the area’s largest reported movements of migrants in recent years. The sudden arrival of thousands of people, many of whom swam or arrived aboard inflatable boats, has created a humanitarian emergency in Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city of 80,000 residents off the tip of Morocco. Spanish television showed law enforcement officers carrying children in their arms, distributing blankets, providing water and evacuating others who had arrived in the area, many of whom appeared cold and exhausted. At least one person died during the crossing, according to Spanish and European officials. Context: Spain and Morocco are involved in a deepening diplomatic spat over the hospitalization in Spain of the leader of a separatist movement that fights for Western Sahara’s independence from Morocco. It was not immediately clear if the spike in migration was linked to the dispute.
