Days after up to 10,000 people surged across the Moroccan border into Spain s Ceuta enclave, many hundreds are still here, mostly minors, posing a quandary for the tiny territory. We can t yet say how many people entered Ceuta we estimate between 8,000 and 10,000, and it seems 6,600 have returned to Morocco, Mabel Deu, one of the city s deputy leaders, told reporters on Friday.
Most of the migrants swam, but some came in inflatable boats, with Spanish government officials saying 1,500 of them were under 18. That figure has not been confirmed by the city.
