According to the Cadena SER radio station, the number of migrants who died while trying to enter the Spanish province of Ceuta from Morocco has reached 61, which is a record number.
"The number of dead, which is currently 61, is also a record, because such an indicator has never been recorded in such a short period of time," the radio station reported. According to Cadena SER, law enforcement agencies continue to find bodies on Tarachal beach near the border, which suggests that the number of victims may increase.
On Friday, Ceuta's mayor-president, Juan Jesus Vivas, announced that nearly 60,000 people had entered Ceuta from Morocco in the last 24 hours. RTVE, citing the Spanish Interior Ministry, reported that more than 48,300 illegal migrants have already returned to Morocco.
