The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Thousands of migrants from Morocco have arrived in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave, hoping to reach Spain and the rest of Europe, but the sudden influx has created a severe crisis.
- Around 800 unaccompanied minors are stranded there, some separated from parents who drowned at sea or got lost in the crowds.
- Spanish law gives special protection to such children, and many are staying in government care centres, but these centres are reportedly full.
- Shelters are overcrowded, with shortages of food, clean water and space, forcing some people to live in hills and open areas, while Spain has increased border security and many adults are being returned to Morocco.
What to watch next
- What arrangements Spain makes for the 800 unaccompanied minors and who takes responsibility for them
- Whether adult migrants' asylum applications are accepted or they are sent back to Morocco
- How the overcrowding and shortages of food, water and shelter at the camps are addressed
