At least 10,000 individuals are currently reported to be living in precarious conditions within the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, according to estimates from local authorities. The situation has been driven by a historic migration surge in late July, during which approximately 72,000 people crossed from Morocco into the territory over a span of just two days.
This unprecedented influx has severely overwhelmed local resources, resulting in what officials and aid groups have described as a deepening humanitarian crisis. The scale of the movement has left thousands of migrants stranded, facing significant challenges in securing basic survival needs in the densely populated enclave.
Seems like the root causes are still being ignored. Unless there is a real political solution, Ceuta will just keep overflowing.
This scale is terrifying. How does a small enclave cope with 72,000 arrivals in forty-eight hours without total collapse?
