Thousands remain in Ceuta after migrant crisis, leader says

Between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants remain in Spain's North African territory of Ceuta following last week's mass crossing, local leader Juan Jesús Vivas told the European Parliament. He reported 100 deaths among roughly 78,000 migrants who arrived from Morocco, calling it an 'irreparable tragedy.' The crisis has strained EU relations and sparked criticism of Spain's response, though the EU Commission praised Madrid's swift action. Vivas warned of ongoing humanitarian emergency and fresh calls for more crossings.
