Over 30 Intercepted Trying to Reach Ceuta Coast - Spain

Two people pick up a migrant who did not want to be rescued, on August 12, 2025, in Ceuta (Spain). One of the young men tried to evade capture by swimming and disregarding the agents' orders to stop. In the face of his resistance, the agents decided to leave the intercepted persons on the beach and return for him to be rescued and taken back to the Moroccan maritime base. The action is part of the joint device that Morocco and Spain maintain to contain the attempts of entry by sea to Ceuta. This operation includes coordinated patrols, exchange of information in real time and rescues in waters close to the border, with the aim of stopping both swimming crossings and those carried out in small boats.

(240418) -- JIAXING(ZHEJIANG), April 18, 2024 (Xinhua) -- A tourist donning traditional Hanfu attire visits a dyeing house in the water town Wuzhen in Jiaxing City, east China's Zhejiang Province, April 11, 2024. Located in east China's Zhejiang Province, the waterside city Jiaxing is renowned for tourist destinations Nanhu Lake and Wuzhen. In the breezy month of April, the two tourist hotspots come alive with the gentle touch of spring. Nanhu Lake, with its shimmering waters and willow trees swaying along the lakeside, is a sight to behold. The historic water town Wuzhen also enchants with its emerald waters and whitewashed walls adorned with black tiled roofs. Visitors can immerse themselves in the scenery by donning traditional Hanfu attire and leisurely gliding along the river on rowing boats. The juxtaposition of ancient dwellings, stone bridges, and willow trees along the riverbanks resembles scenes from a classical ink painting, transporting visitors to a bygone era.
