Over the last 24 hours, the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta, home to around 83,000 people, has seen an unprecedented surge in migrant arrivals. An estimated 60,000 people from Morocco are believed to have crossed into the North African enclave, which has long been a focal point for migrants attempting to reach Europe.
Dozens of people died while trying to make the crossing. On Friday evening, Spanish officials confirmed that more than 48,000 of the migrants had voluntarily returned to Morocco.
