Almost All Migrants Who Broke Into Ceuta Spain Sent Back to Morocco

Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares confirmed that almost all immigrants who entered Ceuta had returned to Morocco. He asked that all misinformation be stopped.

"Visits from Ceuta and Melilla to mainland Spain are not possible without identification at police checkpoints," Albares said via the X social media, as reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Saturday, August 1.

"The integrity of the Schengen area can be fully guaranteed. Stop all deliberate misinformation," he continued.

Previously, the Spanish news agency EFE reported that hundreds of immigrants crossed the Ceuta exit border to Morocco, given the repatriation agreement between Spain and Morocco.

The migrants also said that many shops, supermarkets, and restaurants in Ceuta were closed, so they could not meet their basic needs.

The Spanish Civil Guard and the Regulares No. 54 unit of the Spanish Army were deployed along the Tarajal coastal area to prevent the entry of immigrants arriving from the sea.

According to Spanish authorities, at least 57 people died in the migration crisis in Ceuta.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the raids on immigrants to Ceuta since Thursday an "attack" and "violation of the integrity of Spanish territory."

He also promised to restore the situation as soon as possible.
