The BBC has uncovered evidence which raises new questions for the Moroccan and Spanish authorities about the fate of dozens of migrants trying to cross into territory in north Africa which is part of Spain.

The deaths took place at a border crossing that separates Morocco and the tiny Spanish territory of Melilla.

On 24th June 2022 a large group of migrants was crushed at a crossing point from Morocco into Mellila.

At least 24 migrants died but the death toll is thought to be higher with more than 70 people still missing.
