Hundreds of people have gathered in Fnideq, Morocco, near the Ceuta border, flashing photos of missing loved ones. The Spanish territory of Ceuta has recorded 88 fatalities, and a further 11 people have died in Morocco, following last week's influx of approximately 72,000 individuals. The Spanish government says about 2,000 people, including at least 862 unaccompanied children, are still in Ceuta.
