At least 67 migrants have died attempting to cross from Morocco into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, according to the Spanish government.

The scale of the event—dozens confirmed dead and a large number attempting the crossing—raises questions about future migration patterns along this border and the factors driving individuals to risk such dangerous journeys.
