Spanish Royals Visit Sidi Imbarak Cemetery
The Spanish King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited the Sidi Ambarek Cemetery in Ceuta, which is under Spanish control, to participate in a religious ceremony honoring the victims of the Tarajal tragedy, which resulted in more than 140 deaths by drowning and being pushed during a mass attempt to cross the maritime barrier from Morocco. The cemetery holds the remains of about 90 people, including Moroccans, some of whom died in the days following the tragedy. During the visit, the monarchs stood in front of the graves and listened to an explanation from a health official about the burial process. They expressed solidarity with the victims' families, while the Moroccan authorities refuse to receive the bodies or bury them in their homeland. The scene was met with heartfelt public applause welcoming the king and queen, highlighting the ongoing challenges related to the bodies and the suffering of the families.
