Ceuta al límite: urgencias repletas, vecinos desbordados y ruidos de sirena

En el centro de la ciudad se perciben menos personas migrantes deambulando, aunque en los barrios periféricos miles de personas siguen durmiendo en el suelo y copando las calles

Ceuta al límite: urgencias repletas, vecinos desbordados y ruidos de sirena

Ceuta, a city known for its multicultural heritage, finds itself overwhelmed today. In the El Príncipe neighborhood, young girls and teenagers from migrant backgrounds were evacuated to a recently refurbished industrial ship due to accusations of sexual violence. Simultaneously, in the El Tarajal district, approximately the same number of unaccompanied minors sleep on the ground, surrounded by the smell of feces and urine.

Nearby, three legionaries chase three adolescents and one with a truncheon, urging them to move away from homes. Later, on the Trampolín beach, the settlement primarily composed of Sub-Saharan migrants has transformed into a self-organized community, managing their tasks and enduring the tedium of waiting for wrestling matches or falls.

The sole hospital's emergency rooms are on the brink of collapse due to the influx of migrants, with isolated cases of tuberculosis and scabies, but primarily due to injuries from fights or falls. Anxiety plagues the minds and phones of Ceutians, driven by reports of increased criminal activity, while the siren sounds of patrols continue unabated.
