BRUSSELS: Some 100 people died during the massive border rush last week in Spain’s Ceuta, the enclave city’s leader Juan Jesus Vivas said on Thursday during an EU parliamentary meeting. Vivas added that between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants were still in Ceuta. The European Union is vulnerable if border controls depend on the goodwill of one neighbouring country, EU migration chief Magnus Brunner said on Thursday, following the Ceuta border rush.

Madrid says 70,000 of the 72,000 that crossed into Ceuta have returned home

About 75 migrants died during the crossing, while the EU blamed smugglers and false information for encouraging the surge.
