Hundreds of Moroccan Minors Still Stranded in Ceuta After Mass Migration

Several hundred Moroccan minors continue to wander the streets of Ceuta, nearly a month after the migration crisis occurred. In total, 900 minors are taken care of in the centers opened by the local authorities.

According to the government delegation in Ceuta, 2,388 Moroccan migrants have already voluntarily returned to Morocco since their massive arrival in May in the autonomous city. The flow of voluntary return has since gradually diminished, says OKDIARIO, specifying that last weekend, only 65 migrants returned to the kingdom, 23 on Monday and 10 on Tuesday.

In total, more than 10,000 migrants out of the approximately 14,000 who arrived en masse have returned to Morocco, according to official estimates that have taken into account the 8,000 people expelled by the army, the national police and the Civil Guard between May 17 and 19.

The integrity of Ceuta, "like that of any other Spanish territory", will always be defended "by the Spanish government and by the European Union", assured Pedro Sánchez in a letter addressed to Juan Vivas, the president of Ceuta, renewing on this occasion the "firm commitment" of the Spanish government to strengthen border control with Morocco. "The Spanish government continues to work to provide the cities of Ceuta and Melilla with all the necessary means to resolve the humanitarian crisis," Sánchez concluded.
