Los migrantes registrados por entidades sociales y organismos públicos en Ceuta superan con creces las cifras de Interior

In Ceuta, registered migrants through social entities and public bodies have surpassed the figures provided by the Interior Ministry. This was evident as Cruz Roja workers handed out the final plastic bags of food and water on the Trampolín Beach, expressing regret that there were no more supplies available. The organization distributed over 2,500 rations on Thursday, an increase of 500 from the previous day, but still deemed insufficient.

The coastal area houses more than 2,000 individuals, primarily from subsaharan Africa, according to both the local police and humanitarian workers. This number contrasts with the one provided by the Interior Ministry, which, on Tuesday, stated that out of the 72,000 people who entered Ceuta, 70,000 had returned to Morocco, leaving only 2,000 in the city. Interior sources confirm this figure, emphasizing that they lack other reliable data to alter it, though they acknowledge its estimative nature.
