00:08500-metre neutral zone along the borders of both Melilla and the nearby Enclave of Ceuta, following a major migrant
00:16surge targeting Ceuta.
00:17Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Imbroda said the recent influx into Ceuta requires stronger border security measures for
00:25both Spanish cities, which are located on Moroccan territory.
00:29That same day, Spanish police said about 73,500 illegal migrants had been returned to Morocco from Ceuta.
00:37Local order is gradually being restored and shops have resumed operations.
00:42At least 88 migrants also died while trying to swim into the enclave during the chaos.
00:47Meanwhile, legal action is underway in Morocco over the unrest.
00:51A law court began hearings against 25 suspected accused of helping organize the mass illegal crossings and border riots targeting
00:58Ceuta.
