Ceuta faces crisis with 11,000 migrants
The governor of the Spanish city of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, called on the government to expedite the establishment of a detention center for migrants who are subject to deportation procedures, so they can wait there until their legal cases are resolved. He clarified that establishing this facility is an urgent priority to meet the basic needs of the migrants and to reduce their presence in the streets. This comes in the wake of the recent wave of mass crossings from Morocco that the city experienced in late July, during which the current migrant population is estimated to be between 8,000 and 11,000, amid the arrival of around 72,000 migrants since the end of July, in a city with a population of about 85,000 residents. Vivas also called for a government plan to restore the city's normal situation to address the pressures caused by the influx of migrants and its impact on services and daily life.
