About 80,000 immigrants entered Ceuta, a city of 80,000 inhabitants.

Omissions

• The 80,000 entry figure is a Spanish Government estimate, not an independently verified count; every source found traces back to the same official estimate, so the outlets are not fully independent of a single origin.
• The number of migrants still in Ceuta is contested: the Government estimated around 8,000 remained (mid-August 2026), while the range quoted by media in early September 2026 oscillated between about 5,000 and more than 15,000, so the claim's 'at least 15,000' corresponds to the top of a disputed range.
• Some outlets stress that the exact number of migrants still in Ceuta is unknown ('Un mes de crisis sin saber exactamente cuántos migrantes...').
• Ceuta's actual population is about 83,000–85,000, slightly above the 80,000 stated by the MEP.
• All sources located are journalistic (secondary); no primary official dataset (Interior Ministry, national statistics) was retrieved within the search budget.
