This led to overcrowded reception centers and violent scenes, with thousands running onto beaches and hills, looting, and breaching borders. Authorities responded with military presence and Moroccan police used tear gas and water cannons. About half of the migrants have returned to Morocco, some discouraged by shortages of food and shelter. The situation has prompted Spain to declare a humanitarian and social emergency, with officials calling the event a violation of sovereignty. up to 60,000 migrants may have entered, with tragic deaths reported, highlighting a complex regional crisis.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span
