The border fence of Ceuta is over six meters tall. Nevertheless, hundreds of migrants have managed to overcome the barrier. According to the police, they also seemed exceptionally aggressive.

More than 600 people crossed the border barrier of the Ceuta exclave. The media reports that the Spanish and Moroccan police have tried to arrest people for more than an hour.

The Ceuta border with Morocco is 8.4 kilometers long, with a double fence of more than six meters high. On many occasions, migrants are trying to overcome the barrier.

With bolt cutters and quicklime

The latest badaults are not only the most important in recent years. A spokesman for the police also told the Europa Press news agency that the migrants had been "more brutal than ever". According to reports, they cut border fences with bolt cutters, officials reportedly being attacked for the first time in such an badault on the fence with homemade flamethrowers and quicklime . The burned lime causes burns on contact with the skin.

Migrants and Injured Policemen

The Red Cross treated 132 migrants and 22 policemen, writes "El País". Spanish police reportedly arrested several migrants at the foot of the fence. They were reportedly returned to Morocco. Such "repressed" evictions should no longer exist according to an announcement by the Spanish government. Because it is impossible to verify whether they are war refugees with asylum claims.

Recently, more and more African migrants have stranded in Morocco, according to Misereor. The Catholic Agency for Development Cooperation believes that this is due to the more difficult road between Libya and Italy. The Libyan Coast Guard brings back many people saved in Libya. Spain has become the main route for refugees and migrants to the EU. Nearly 19,600 people arrived in Spain this year, according to the International Organization for Migration.
