Spain says it has returned to Morocco over 6,600 of the more than 8,000 migrants who swam or jumped over border fences into one of Spain's enclaves in North Africa this week. Social services in Ceuta were dealing with thousands of calls from Moroccan parents looking for their children and trying to speed up family reunions, said authorities in Spain's north African enclave at the heart of a sudden humanitarian crisis and a diplomatic storm with Morocco.
