Morocco and Spain are in a diplomatic row over a migration surge involving the two Mediterranean states. The issue coincides with Moroccan anger over Spain providing medical treatment to a Western Saharan independence leader.
Around 6,000 people have entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco via swimming and rafts since Monday. This amount of arrivals in such a short period of time is “unprecedented,” Spain’s public broadcaster RTVE reported today.
