According to CCTV, Morocco called for unaccompanied Moroccan children in Spain's North African city of Ceuta to be reunited with their families following recent irregular border crossings.

Moroccan Interior Ministry spokesperson Rachid el Khalfi asked Spanish authorities to accelerate procedures for returning unaccompanied children in Ceuta to their families.

El Khalfi said that the interests of the children should be taken into consideration within the framework of coordination and cooperation between the two countries.

The children's families are also calling for their return to Morocco so that they can continue their education and daily lives. Legal and administrative obstacles were reported to be delaying the return process.
