Spain has accused some of its European allies of adopting a "selfish attitude" toward the ongoing migrant crisis, as the European Union moves to convene an emergency meeting focused on the situation unfolding in Spanish territory.
The death toll in the migrant crisis continues to rise, adding urgency to calls for a coordinated European response. Madrid's frustration signals deepening tension between member states over how shared responsibility for the crisis should be handled.
The emergency EU meeting is expected to address the pressures Spain is facing, though it remains to be seen whether member states can reach agreement on a collective approach after Spain's pointed criticism of its partners' reluctance to act.
