The assumption of the measure is that a wave could move from Ceuta towards Italy. Anyone with an Italian, Spanish or other EU country passport does not undergo additional checks. However, the data that most closely concerns the Ceuta crisis is another: how many Moroccan citizens actually arrive in Italy. In 2025, the top five nationalities detected on the Spanish route were Algeria (10,375), Morocco (3,551), Somalia (1,593), Mali (1,133) and Guinea (919). On the Italian route Bangladesh (20,416), Egypt (9,154), Eritrea (7,585), Pakistan (4,399) and Sudan (4,204).
