Fact check: Thousands of migrants are still in Ceuta after a border crisis, and 100 deaths…

Majority view

Major outlets agree that thousands of migrants remained in Ceuta after the 2026 border surge, but the death toll and crossing estimate in the claim do not match the reported figures. Reported totals range around 50,000-78,000 crossings and roughly 67-75 deaths on the Spanish side plus 11 in Morocco, not 100 deaths attributable to the crossing as stated.[2][5][10][12]
