Spain sends over 48,000 migrants in Ceuta back to Morocco after deadly border rush

Spain said Saturday it will install a 1,600-foot containment fence on the aquatic border between the tiny territory of Ceuta and neighboring Morocco after tens of thousands of migrants breached the enclave earlier this week. At least 67 people died in the border rush, Spain's Minister of the Interior said, including some who drowned and others killed in a stampede. Between 50,000 and 60,000 people crossed into Ceuta since Thursday morning. But Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told reporters on Saturday that most of the migrants who arrived in Ceuta have already been sent back to Morocco."Almost all of them have already left Ceuta," the minister said when asked about the tens of thousands of migrants who had crossed into the enclave. "The situation has been almost entirely reversed."Most who tried to cross the border are Moroccans.
