Thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta after a border crisis that saw 78,000 people cross into the Spanish territory from neighbouring Morocco, according to the territory’s mayor-president.
The local leader said the scale of the crossings had left a continuing impact on Ceuta, with thousands of people still present in the territory following the crisis.
Ceuta is a Spanish territory adjoining Morocco, making it a focal point for movements across the border. The mayor-president said 100 deaths occurred as a result of the crossings.
The comments underline the continuing consequences of a large-scale movement of migrants into the territory, where local authorities are still dealing with the aftermath.
The latest known position, according to the mayor-president, is that thousands of migrants remain in Ceuta after the crisis, while the reported death toll linked to the crossings stands at 100.
