🇪🇸🇲🇦 Spain says 70,000 out of 72,000 migrants that entered Ceuta in last week's mass border crossing have returned to Morocco.

In a letter to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, von der Leyen described Morocco as a key partner in managing irregular migration and called for expanded financial and operational assistance, after an estimated 72,000 Islamists invaded Ceuta in a single day in one of the largest border breaches ever recorded on the EU's external frontier.
