The number of migrants who have died while trying to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco has reached 90, the Cadena Ser radio station reported on Sunday, citing sources.
Spanish law enforcement agencies have recovered 74 bodies, while Moroccan authorities have found another 16, the report said.
At the end of July, Ceuta experienced a mass influx of migrants from Morocco. On Friday, Ceuta's mayor-president Juan Jesus Vivas said about 60,000 people had entered the city from Morocco in a single day. Riots broke out amid the crisis, with additional police, Civil Guard and military units deployed.
Ceuta is a Spanish enclave on the northern coast of Africa, located on the border with Morocco. Together with Melilla, it forms the only land border between the European Union and Africa and is considered a key route for illegal migration into the EU.
