Thousands of migrants crossed overnight from Morocco into Spain’s north Africa’s Ceuta enclave, a police source said on Friday, as Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was set to arrive to manage the latest migrant crisis on the border.
In recent days, a total of around 40,000 migrants have crossed into the territory — population 80,000 — the source added.
The sudden massive influx has sparked a crisis for Spain’s government and prompted France to announce tighter checks on its border with Spain.
