Spain, Morocco try to halt deadly rush on Spanish enclave after tens of thousands cross in a day

The mass crossing into Ceuta, a tiny Spanish-held spit jutting into the Mediterranean from Morocco, caused shock and division in Europe.

Spain and Morocco reinforced the border fence of a Spanish enclave on Friday and appeared to have largely ​halted mass crossings after tens of thousands of people arrived by sea and land in a day, with at least 19 dead bodies found in the water.
