Ceuta migrant death toll rises to 72 after border surge

At least 72 migrants have died after roughly 60,000 people surged from Morocco into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, one of the EU's only two land borders with Africa. Spanish authorities confirmed over 1,000 received medical treatment, while more than 48,000 returned to Morocco within 48 hours. The crisis drew 22 EU states to demand coordinated border action and prompted Italy to suspend Schengen travel with Spain.
