Migrants streamed back across the border into Morocco in small groups after spending two or three days in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, wandering the streets with almost nothing to eat, and little welcome.
On Saturday morning, Spanish soldiers and Civil Guard officers directed a steady flow of people -- mostly very young men -- toward the exit at the border crossing.
Some were barefoot, others had Red Cross blankets draped over their shoulders. Many were visibly exhausted after days of wandering around the town.
"I'm leaving because there's no food. I thought I'd be welcomed, but that wasn't the case at all," said 23-year-old Abdel Latif before crossing back over the border.
He had tried his luck to "find work" because "there are no jobs in Morocco," lamented the young man. He survives by doing odd jobs as a mechanic.
