At least 50 Moroccan minors escaped on Saturday from a reception center in Ceuta where they were kept since May when a group of 8,000 people crossed to the enclave.
The minors escaped as Government Delegation in Ceuta began carrying out repatriations of small groups on Friday using vans from a sports complex converted into a makeshift reception center, reported Spanish Córdoba newspaper.
In early June, King Mohammed VI ordered the government to facilitate the re-entry of all unaccompanied Moroccan children in the European Union irregularly.
Most of the 8,000 migrants who crossed into Ceuta in May were returned to Morocco, but some 700 unaccompanied minors remained in the enclave.
