The European Commission and Spain are in technical discussions over extra financial support for Ceuta after last week's events that left at least 88 dead and up to 5,000 people remaining in the enclave. Supported claims include a needs assessment submitted on Wednesday, potential funding for border equipment and humanitarian aid, and the return of 70,000 individuals to Morocco. Disputed figures concern the total number and demographics of arrivals, while Ceuta's status as Spanish territory and its population of 84,000 are confirmed across sources.
