Live from Ceuta as migrants continue to attempt to reach the Spanish enclave

Ruptly is live from Ceuta on Wednesday, May 19, as migrants continue to attempt to reach the Spanish enclave bordered by Morocco. A record number of migrants have been making the crossing since Monday following reports that the Moroccan border patrols have been loosened as part of a diplomatic protest against Spain’s admittance of Polisario militant group leader Brahim Ghali for COVID-19 medical treatment. Hundreds of additional Civil Guard officers as well as armed forces and national police ​have been deployed to assist with the processing of the new arrivals.
