Migrants trying to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa gather on top of a hill during clashes with Moroccan security forces near the town of Fnideq, at the border between Morocco and Spain.
More than 48,000 migrants have returned to Morocco from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where around 60,000 people have arrived in recent days, the Spanish Interior Ministry announced Friday night in Madrid.
“Departures from Ceuta to Morocco as of July 31, up to 6:00 PM (4:00 PM GMT): more than 48,300,” the Interior Ministry said in a message sent to AFP.
