An update on the Ceuta migration crisis indicates that between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants from Morocco remain inside the enclave, according to reports from the area. The figure is substantially lower than the tens of thousands who entered during the peak of the crisis late last month.
An update on the Ceuta migration crisis indicates that between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants from Morocco remain inside the enclave, according to reports. The figure is a sharp decline from the peak of the crisis in late July, when tens of thousands entered the border. As The Zioneer reported at the time, the enclave was overwhelmed, with a death toll of at least 57 migrants and over 37,000 returning to Morocco within days. The current number suggests that the mass repatriation trend has continued, though a residual population remains in the territory.
