At least 141 people died after Moroccan authorities opened border gates into Spain's Ceuta enclave, marking Morocco's deadliest migration disaster in recent history. The death toll includes 63 bodies recovered in Moroccan waters and 78 in Spanish waters, with most victims being Moroccan men aged 20-30 and Sub-Saharan Africans, women, and children also among the dead.
