Ceuta government representative Cristina Pérez Valero said an average of 700 people have attempted to enter the city each night recently.

Despite daily returns of 150 to 200 individuals to Morocco, the influx of migrants has continued to rise.

Valero stated in a press conference that the number of people trying to cross the border has doubled in the past two days, reaching up to 1,500.

She emphasized the intense pressure on Spanish authorities and urged the opposition Popular Party to collaborate with the government to address the distribution of unaccompanied minor migrants.

Valero acknowledged the cooperation of Moroccan authorities in managing the situation, noting their efforts to double their human resources on the border to contain the returned migrants.
