Spain and Morocco have offered differing death tolls from the recent mass crossings into Ceuta, according to reports from TheCable.
Spain’s government representative in Ceuta said the death toll had risen to at least 72, while Moroccan authorities countered that only 11 people died trying to reach the Spanish enclave.
Spain said at least 60,000 migrants entered Ceuta from Morocco, more than half the exclave’s population. On Saturday, Spain said almost all of the 60,000 migrants had returned to Morocco. The mass migration triggered alarm across Europe, prompting EU member states to heighten border security.
