Ceuta: Most migrants have returned to Morocco, 57 died crossing the border

Approximately 50,000 to 60,000 migrants crossed the border from Morocco into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta, resulting in 57 deaths during the transit. Following the influx, authorities ordered the migrants to return to Morocco, warning of potential forced expulsion for those who remained. Most of the individuals have since departed the territory, restoring a degree of calm to the enclave.

The event has prompted broader regional responses, with France and Italy strengthening their own border controls in the aftermath. The situation remains a point of focus for European authorities as they manage the migration pressures at the Spanish-Moroccan border.
