Spain imposes border controls on Italy as Ceuta migrant crisis deepens

Italy has introduced border controls following an influx of around 78,000 migrants from Morocco into the neighbouring Spanish exclave of Ceuta. The move comes as tensions between the two countries escalate over how to handle the growing number of arrivals. Spain’s decision to tighten its frontier with Italy marks a significant shift in European border policy. The sudden surge has overwhelmed local authorities and sparked a diplomatic row over responsibility and response.
