Spanish authorities report 5,000 migrants remain in Ceuta after 69,000 return to Morocco
The authorities in Ceuta announced that between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants are still inside the city after approximately 69,500 of them returned to Morocco, following a mass illegal entry attempt that resulted in the death of 11 people. The authorities confirmed that the situation remains unstable, with significant pressure on reception facilities, especially after exceeding the capacity for unaccompanied minors by 2,872%. Currently, the city is hosting 862 minors, while the permitted limit is only 29, and efforts are underway to reorganize the shelters. It was also noted that the Spanish government had not received prior intelligence warnings about the wave, and that Spanish law mandates the protection of unaccompanied minors. A legal crisis has emerged following the Supreme Court's decision to rescind its previous rulings to repatriate minors from Ceuta to Morocco due to violations. The migration wave from Morocco to Ceuta, which has led to the deaths of some migrants, represents one of the largest security and migration crises facing the region, with European calls to close the Schengen Area border for Spain to confront this phenomenon.
