Most migrants return but Ceuta still on edge as death toll climbs to 72
Between 50,000 and 60,000 mostly male migrants broke into Ceuta this week.
Relative calm had returned to Ceuta on Sunday, but the city remained on edge following the deadly border rush.
Spanish Civil Guard ships were searching the waters around the city on Sunday for more bodies after between 50,000 and 60,000 migrants breached the border with Morocco.
Nearly all of them had walked back to the Moroccan side of the border by Sunday, according to officials in Ceuta, normally home to around 84,000 people.
At least 72 people died during the crush on Thursday and Friday, the Spanish government representative in Ceuta, Miguel Angel Perez, said.
Some drowned, while others were killed in a stampede at a breakwater barrier and a border fence.
Perez added that medical services have treated more than 1,000 people.
On Saturday, authorities installed a 500-meter (1,600-foot) floating barrier in the waters off Ceuta to boost border security, as well as reinforcing police and army patrols.
European Union interior ministers will meet for emergency talks on Tuesday, with 22 member states, including Germany, calling for coordinated border measures.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez criticised Italy's decision to suspend Schengen travel with Spain for one month.
An emergency video meeting of European Union interior ministers is to be held on Tuesday, according to Ireland's prime minister, Micheal Martin.
"As Presidency holders, Ireland will convene a meeting on Tuesday of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council... to discuss developments in Ceuta," the Irish leader wrote on Saturday.
Spain's Sanchez decries 'selfish' response by other EU nations
The head of Spain's left-leaning government, Pedro Sanchez, demanded a video summit of all European Union interior ministers and slammed what he described as a "selfish" response by some EU members to the Ceuta crisis.
"Most have shown us their support and solidarity and have offered us their assistance. Others, however, have chosen to attack Spain and call for its temporary exclusion from the Schengen zone" Sanchez said, in apparent reference to Italy, which temporarily suspended free movement with Spain.
"In the current international context, the European Union cannot afford this kind of selfish, polarizing and unlawful reaction," Sanchez said in a letter to top EU leaders.
