The death toll in an attempted mass crossing into the Spanish enclave of Melilla on Friday rose to 23 after five more fatalities, Moroccan state TV said on Saturday.

Moroccan authorities said the disaster occurred after migrants attempted to breach a fence into Melilla, with some dying in a crush after what authorities called a stampede, and others falling as they climbed.
