The Spanish territory of Ceuta in North Africa is still facing the humanitarian and social consequences of the massive wave of migrants crossing the border with Morocco, although most of the migrants have returned to Morocco after a short period of time.
During this event, tens of thousands of migrants entered Ceuta, and Spanish authorities announced that a large portion of them had been returned to Morocco; however, thousands of people, including a number of unaccompanied children, still remain in the area and face problems with accommodation and basic services.
This sudden wave of migrants has put a lot of pressure on Ceuta’s limited resources and has sparked new debates about Spanish and European Union immigration policies.
Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the coast of North Africa, is one of the sensitive border points between Europe and Africa and has witnessed repeated attempts by migrants to cross into the European Union in recent years.
