Residents of Ceuta are angry after an unprecedented border crisis saw up to 60,000 migrants flood from Morocco into the tiny Spanish enclave within a 24-hour period.

The border has since been reinforced and tens of thousands of migrants have reportedly returned to Morocco voluntarily.

But shops were closed and bread was in short supply as the North African territory struggled on Friday to cope with the influx.

Shuttered storefronts lined Calle Real, Ceuta's main commercial artery, where the usual flow of shoppers and residents was replaced by scores of migrants milling around.

“This cannot be allowed. I’m not against immigration, but I believe it has to be regulated immigration, and this isn’t regulated,” said resident Lidia.
