Spain faces unrest as residents protest, while migrants and asylum seekers search for shelter and resources in Ceuta.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez insisted his government had no advance notice of an influx of 70,000 migrants into the tiny Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

A baby dolphin died after being pulled from the sea and struck by migrants in Ceuta, Spain, prompting public outrage and a formal complaint from an environmental group.

Opposition parties accuse Spain's prime minister Pedro Sanchez of abandoning the residents of the small Spanish enclave on the North African coast.

Ceuta and Melilla, Europe’s only land borders with Africa, are Spain’s only two “autonomous cities”. Under Spanish law, they hold a status as ciudades autónomas, meaning they possess a self-governing power greater than standard municipalities but less than full autonomous communities.

The prime minister of Spain is promising to release all files related to the invasion of Ceuta by illegal immigrants, as thousands rally across the country in protest of how the situation has been handled.

The crisis deepened Wednesday after a leaked report alleging Moroccan forces helped push migrants across the border blindsided the government. Madrid denies having ignored warnings of an imminent breach.
