Ceuta reinforces its border “to be prepared” for a new mass entry attempt
On the eve of the call on social networks to cross from Morocco, the people of Ceuta see it as unlikely that the attempt will be repeated, due to the strong military deployment on the other side of the border.
The situation in Ceuta is one of “overwhelming” and is especially worrying for minors. This is how Save The Children describes the situation in the autonomous city, according to its Program Director Raúl Arnaiz, who warns that the number of minors may be around 4,000, according to estimates from neighborhood associations. “We have come across very young children on the streets, even 11 years old, and what really catches our attention is the number of girls we are seeing”, many of them exposed to “risks of trafficking, risks of exploitation”, Arnaiz said, whose statements can be seen in the video at the top of this news story.
