The 'invasion' from Morocco surpassed the population of Ceuta: more than 100,000 people entered in 24 hours
The number of migrants who stormed the Ceuta border in July is now estimated to exceed 100,000, according to a recent judicial report. Initially, the Ministry of Interior suggested 80,000, later admitting it could be more. The local government indicated it might be over 90,000, but no official total was provided until now. As of late October, 88,146 migrants had returned to Morocco, with estimates suggesting around 14,000 may still be in Ceuta. This includes adults and minors, raising the total count significantly. The situation highlights the strain on the autonomous city, which has a resident population of 83,000.
