Over 1,750 foreign minors have been transferred from the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla in one year

Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands have transferred over 1,750 unaccompanied foreign minors to the Peninsula since the solidarity distribution among communities was approved in August last year, according to data from the General Administration of the State. The mechanism set in motion at that time has continued its course despite the allegations and appeals submitted.

Currently, the system is halted in Ceuta due to the migratory crisis the city is going through, where the Ceutan Government ensures it is attending to 1,200. In mid-July, the town had already raised the alarm that the number of minors arriving on its coast by swimming had once again multiplied its reception capacity.
