Spain Starts Removing Migrants from Ceuta Beaches
On Friday morning, Spanish authorities began an evacuation operation of the beaches of Ceuta, removing thousands of migrants who were living in the open air. The aim was to ease the pressure on reception centers that are suffering from capacity shortages. Police forces and military units participated in the operation, facing difficulties and pushing during attempts to enter the designated centers, which can accommodate around 1,700 people. However, estimates indicate that approximately 4,000 migrants still live in the streets, on beaches and sidewalks. Footage showed tension and clashes before the situation calmed down, with police using rubber bullets and batons to control the crowd. The vast majority of migrants are men and boys, and most are expected to voluntarily return to Morocco. Nevertheless, the current reception centers are unable to accommodate everyone, reflecting the ongoing migration crisis in the region.
