Smugglers charge 4000 euros for Ceuta migrants

Spanish authorities are intensifying their patrols along the Ceuta coast to confront the increasing attempts at illegal migration via the sea. They were able to intercept 59 migrants over the course of two days who were trying to reach Spain using risky boats, such as rubber dinghies and Kayaks, approximately 29 kilometers from the coast. Human trafficking networks involved in these operations are responsible for demanding sums of up to 4,000 euros per person, exploiting their smuggling across unsafe boats that face significant dangers, especially in the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, which intersect the Mediterranean and Atlantic Seas. Security sources warn of the dangers of these trips, particularly because the boats are not equipped with safety gear, and sometimes the migrants themselves are the ones operating the vessels to escape pursuit, amid strong sea currents that put their lives at great risk.
