00:01Calm is slowly returning to Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, after around 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco in
00:09just days.
00:10Spanish officials say most have now returned, but thousands remain, hoping to find work as residents continue to voice concerns
00:18over illegal migration.
00:25We want to go to mainland Spain to work. It's hard to find jobs in Morocco, so we hope to
00:31find work in Spain. Swimming here was very difficult. At one point, I thought I was going to drown. Some
00:38people just disappeared while trying to swim across.
00:47Last week's irregular entry of tens of thousands of migrants from Morocco to Ceuta left 77 people dead in the
00:54Spanish North African territory.
00:56Spain has responded by deploying a 500-metre floating barrier between Ceuta and Morocco, creating a new sea border designed
01:06to help security forces deter illegal crossings and regain control of the frontier.
