"Migrant Crisis Escalates: Spain Returns Thousands to Morocco in Record-Breaking Operation In a dramatic turn of events, Spain has announced that it has successfully repatriated approximately 70,000 migrants to Morocco, with only about 2,000 remaining in the North African enclave of Ceuta. The mass return comes after a record-breaking influx of around 72,000 people attempted to cross into Spain's territory last week, sparking a major crisis for authorities. The swift repatriation operation is seen as a significant achievement for the Spanish government, which has faced intense pressure to manage the migrant flow and maintain control over its borders. As the situation continues to unfold, questions remain about the long-term implications for both Spain and Morocco, as well as the migrants themselves."


About 70,000 of the 72,000 people who came to Ceuta illegally last week have been returned to Morocco, Spain says.
