Ceuta crisis: Death toll stays at 67, security forces ridding of remaining migrants

The Star

Residents living in Spain's Ceuta demand a higher degree of border monitoring after some 60,000 migrants crossed the border from Morocco in the area's largest immigration crisis in recent years.  The mass rush and crossing have killed at least 67 people who drowned or were crushed while trying to climb the breakwater and border fence.

00:27I don't know.

00:28We can catch you guys.

00:29I don't know.

00:29Should look.

00:29Huh?

00:36Where did we take?

00:39Where we had the hub.

00:46I'm going to go to the left.

00:55It's not enough and it comes late.

00:57From the Association Unified Guardia Civil,

00:59that espigón that comes from the bottom,

01:00the espigón of the death,

01:01as we call it,

01:03has already been produced by a humanitarian tragedy

01:06on February 6, 2014,

01:08many years ago.

01:10After that tragedy,

01:12we wanted to expand that espigón

01:15because it's very easy and accessible

01:17as the whole world has been able to prove.

01:19We have also been reporting

01:20that we need an increase

01:23of human resources and materials in our city

01:25to provide the agents of the Civil Guard

01:27enough resources

01:28to be able to face this situation

01:30so dramatic

01:31as the whole world has been able to observe.

01:49I think that from today,

01:51the logical thing would be

01:52that our borders were super-wired,

01:56if not enough with the police,

01:59with the army,

02:00with whatever.

02:01But what happens,

02:02what happens,

02:02what happens is that we are here

02:03so quiet and that in one hour

02:05this will be invaded by 60.000 people.

02:08No can be.

02:09And since two days

02:11from the afternoon

02:12our business has remained closed,

02:14We have had losses,

02:16employees have stayed in Morocco

02:17because they have not been able to pass

02:19because of the situation that we have,

02:20and today has been the first day

02:22that we have been able to open.

02:23The situation is a bit more calm

02:25but we still have a lot of insecurity

02:27in the streets.

02:28I do not see that my country has defended the door of Europe, because I think that Ceuta

02:39and Melilla are the barrier or the door of Europe, from Africa to Europe.

02:46So, I do not see that. Where is the intelligence service? I do not see the Spanish intelligence service

02:53at all, absolutely. So, I feel like a horse, and like Spanish, indignable.
