Ceuta migration crisis: Spain to relocate 500 minor girls to mainland
Following a massive influx of approximately 80,000 people into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in late July, the Spanish government is implementing measures to manage the resulting humanitarian crisis.
Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations Elma Saiz reported that authorities have identified 2,500 minors since the irregular entry began on June 30. To address the needs of vulnerable populations, the central government plans to relocate approximately 500 unaccompanied minor girls to mainland Spain. Additionally, the government is transferring 25 million euros to Ceuta to support the care of minors.
The situation has drawn significant political debate. Health Minister Mónica García criticized proposals to confine migrants for public health reasons, calling such measures 'unjustified and totally disproportionate.' Meanwhile, migrant women in temporary settlements have reported dire living conditions, including lack of adequate shelter and exposure to weather, while calling for urgent government solutions.
