Ceuta leader reports 100 deaths following massive border breach

The scale of the tragedy emerged as Vivas addressed European lawmakers, highlighting the strain on local infrastructure and the severity of the recent crossing. Beyond the loss of life, the enclave remains under immense pressure, with Vivas reporting that between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants are still present within the city limits. This influx has pushed Ceuta's resources to a breaking point, forcing a broader conversation about border management and humanitarian responsibility at the EU level.
