France, Italy tighten borders after 60,000 migrants enter Spain’s Ceuta

To cross into Ceuta, many swam around a small border barrier that juts out into the Mediterranean. At least 34 people died in the attempt.

The sudden influx sparked an international crisis.

France tightened checks on its border with Spain and said it would increase its police presence there fivefold to 334 officers and gendarmes by Saturday.

Italy announced it had suspended its Schengen agreement with Spain, allowing for visa-free movement between borders. Italian officials said the suspension would take effect on Saturday and last for one month.
