Spanish police begin clearing a makeshift migrant settlement on Trampolín beach in Ceuta, moving people out of tents and makeshift homes. The operation, referred to as “Operation Trampolín,” starts ahead of a visit by Spain’s King and Queen. The camp, which is described as Ceuta’s largest, is home to about 3,000 people and has been in place for more than two months under poor conditions.
The outlets report that police remove residents from the beach and transfer them to temporary accommodation. Euronews and the Daily Mail both link the timing of the clearing to the royal visit, indicating the operation is intended to prepare the area beforehand. While coverage differs in wording and emphasis, all accounts describe the same location, the approximate number of people, and the authorities’ decision to relocate migrants to temporary facilities rather than leaving them on the beach.
