Although calm is gradually returning to the Ceuta border, many local residents still feel anxious amid ongoing fears about illegal migration. Spain's government said around 2,000 undocumented migrants remain in Ceuta, while local authorities estimate the number could be as high as 3,000 to 5,000. In response to the border crisis, Spain has installed a 500-meter-long pneumatic barrier in the waters between Ceuta and Morocco. Ceuta, located on the Mediterranean coast of northwestern Africa near the Strait of Gibraltar, borders Morocco. The recent surge of illegal crossings from the Moroccan side has triggered the most severe border migration crisis Spain has faced in recent years.
