Spanish government representative in Ceuta Pérez Triano said today that 72 people have died as a result of the recent large-scale illegal immigration crossing incident in Ceuta. Pérez Triano said that the authorities will speed up the formalities relating to the recent illegal entry into Ceuta in order to return them to Morocco as soon as possible. Currently, the situation in Ceuta is gradually returning to normal. The Spanish military and security forces are still carrying out local patrols and inspections to ensure that all illegal immigrants who have not yet left are evacuated. Since July 30, local time, a large number of illegal immigrants have continued to cross the border from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa. The European Union plans to hold a meeting on August 4 to discuss this issue.
