Ceuta's conservative president, Juan Jesús Vivas, told European lawmakers that residents feel "sad, helpless, anxious" after last week's border storm with Morocco. He stated that while most of the 80,000 irregular migrants who crossed have returned, between 3,000 and 5,000 still remain in the Spanish enclave. Vivas also lamented the deaths of about 100 people during the crisis.
