Ceuta Begins Burial of Unidentified Migrants After Deadly Morocco Border Crossing
Spain's Ceuta has begun burying unidentified migrants who died during a mass crossing from Morocco three weeks ago, with over 90 fatalities reported. The burials, conducted with Muslim rites in numbered graves, aim to allow future identification and repatriation. Rights groups urge halting burials until bodies are identified and returned to families in Morocco, which has yet to accept repatriation paperwork. Authorities estimate thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta following the influx of more than 72,000 people.
