A group of approximately three thousand Moroccan immigrants is still in Ceuta. Of this total, about five hundred are unaccompanied minors.
Many of the Moroccans who arrived in Ceuta during an illegal migration wave that occurred on July 30 and 31 have already returned to Morocco, either voluntarily or under pressure from authorities. However, about three thousand individuals still remain in the city, half of whom are unaccompanied children.
Residents of these two cities have expressed feeling neglected by the Spanish government authorities.
