Solemn reminder

First migrants buried in Spain’s Ceuta after deadly border rush

CEUTA, Spain: In front of ‌a dozen reporters and a handful of local people, a crew of gravediggers in disposable protective overalls and facemasks on Friday started burying ​some of the scores of migrants who died in a mass crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa three weeks ago. A Muslim cleric read a quick prayer as the workers lowered the first four victims wrapped in white body bags into cinderblock-lined graves side-by-side at Ceuta’s Muslim cemetery, while hearses were bringing more bodies.
