Ceuta: Moroccan NGOs estimate over 140 dead in migration attempt
Moroccan NGOs report that at least 141 migrants have lost their lives trying to reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco.
Moroccan non-governmental organizations advocating for human rights reported that 141 individuals died last week while attempting to reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Most of these migrants tried to swim across from Morocco.
The NGOs believe that this toll could still rise, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. According to these organizations, the exact number of victims may be higher given the number of people missing in these tragic circumstances.
The tragedy has highlighted the ongoing migration crisis in Ceuta, an enclave facing significant challenges related to immigration from North Africa.
The NGOs are also calling for an independent investigation into the events that led to this tragedy to better understand the circumstances surrounding these loss of lives.
