Spanish North Africa enclave: Ceuta: Spain wants to bring 500 minors to the mainland
After an unprecedented migrant influx, Ceuta is facing enormous challenges. For around 500 particularly vulnerable children and young people, Spain is now planning a quick solution.
Spain plans to relocate around 500 unaccompanied minors from Ceuta to the mainland, with the support of regional governments and child protection organizations. The move aims to provide suitable care for the vulnerable children, with some to be placed in foster families. The number of minors to be relocated may still change. Ceuta will receive 25 million euros in support and Spain has applied for EU emergency aid.
Since a mass arrival of migrants in late July, 2,168 unaccompanied minors have been identified in Ceuta, where around 5,000 migrants remain.
