In Spain, migrants are returning to Morocco from the enclave of Ceuta after attempting to cross the border. The local government reports as many as 86 migrants were killed in the crackdown. Some of the victims drowned. Others were crushed while trying to climb the breakwater that holds the border fence. About 60,000 people crossed into the Spanish enclave from Morocco since Thursday, and authorities say virtually all have now returned voluntarily. Spain’s Civil Guard officers installed a 500-meter floating barrier along the sea border Saturday. Meanwhile, hundreds of Ceuta residents rallied against a planned far-right, anti-migrant demonstration, forcing organizers to cancel it. This is a Moroccan migrant, who swam into Spain’s Ceuta.
Mohamed Sahil: “We’re really hungry. We’re trying to hold out. We’re holding out a bit. We eat a little, a little, sometimes, even though it’s not a good meal. We do it so we don’t die. That’s all. We eat sugar, cakes, things like that. We drink water.”
We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
