Thousands of migrants remain stranded in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta nearly three weeks after a mass border crossing brings tens of thousands of people into the territory, according to NGO and media reports. An NGO spokesperson tells RFI that thousands still lack adequate shelter, food, and medical care, describing precarious conditions.
NDTV reports that many of those remaining are among an estimated 5,000 to 8,000 who have not been moved out of Ceuta since the surge. It says the crossing two weeks ago brought more than 72,000 people into Ceuta, which has a population of about 80,000. NDTV also describes protests by some Moroccan migrants who say they would rather seek asylum in Spain than be returned to Morocco. Overall reporting highlights continuing humanitarian needs and diverging emphasis on protest and asylum-seeking versus on-the-ground service gaps.
