المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsThe European Union has called on Spain to accept being placed under special measures in a bid to end an internal row over the Ceuta migrant crisis.
Almost 60,000 illegal migrants flooded into Spain's African enclave last week, as France and Italy piled pressure on the Brussels bloc to impose stricter migration checks.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has been urged to reveal the number of migrants shipped back to Morocco after the enclave's borders were overwhelmed last week.
At least 88 are confirmed to have died - either by drowning or being crushed in the crowd - in what is being described as a "mass invasion".

Meanwhile, Juan Jesús Vivas, the enclave's most senior official, said the figure was much higher and could be up to 5,000.
It is rare for the Brussels bloc to ask a country to prove its claims by demanding verified figures.
One of the EU's diplomats said the Spanish envoy appeared "bitter" when presenting the latest update on the migrant crisis.
"Member states asked for the situation to be monitored and verification of the numbers of returns shared by Spain, as well as lessons learned to prevent a repeat," the insider told The Telegraph.
