Ceuta: Spain wants to transfer 500 minors to the mainland
Ceuta is facing enormous challenges. The children are to be cared for by child protection organizations in suitable facilities on the mainland.
Spain plans to relocate around 500 unaccompanied minors from Ceuta to the mainland, with the support of the central government, regional authorities, and child protection organizations. The minors, who are particularly vulnerable, will be cared for in suitable facilities and potentially placed with foster families. The plan, which is still subject to change, aims to distribute the minors across all regions in Spain.
Ceuta will receive 25 million euros in support, and Spain has also applied for EU emergency aid. Since the mass arrival of migrants in late July, 2,168 unaccompanied minors have been identified in Ceuta.
