Claim 2: “Five weeks after more than 70,000 migrants poured into the small Spanish enclave of Ceuta, an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 remain”
DISPUTED
Sources provide conflicting estimates on the number of migrants remaining in Ceuta: one source mentions 3,500 to 7,000, another mentions a Spanish leader saying 5,000, and another cites city officials estimating 9,000 to 10,000. The claim's range of 5,000 to 10,000 is supported by some but contradicted by others.
