Hundreds to thousands of migrants remain in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta after many people leave for Morocco, according to reporting on the situation on the ground. Officials warn the situation is approaching a “disaster,” with some accounts describing deteriorating living conditions as people congregate in makeshift areas.
One outlet says between 3,500 and 7,000 people are still in Ceuta. It reports that many have resorted to building shanty towns on the beach. The same coverage describes serious public-safety concerns, including claims of repeated violence.
The sources provided focus on different aspects of the same overall picture: the scale of the remaining population, the emergence of improvised encampments, and the security and welfare concerns cited by officials. However, with only one outlet supplied here, other perspectives and independently verified figures are not included in the provided materials.
