Morocco Temporarily Reopens Ceuta and Melilla Borders for Stranded Travelers

These are the two border posts of Ceuta and Melilla that Morocco will reopen tonight to allow the many Spaniards currently stranded in Morocco to pass through.

The duration of this opening has not been specified, neither by Morocco nor by Spain. But it will likely allow several hundred Spaniards, as well as foreign nationals and Moroccans residing abroad, to be able to go to Ceuta and Melilla, before taking a boat to Spain, as the links between the two cities and Spain have not been suspended.

It should be noted that Spain has just activated the state of emergency; which implies exceptional measures, going as far as rationing food, to try to curb this epidemic.
