According to sources, Ceuta Police receive 200 crime reports per day, a tenfold increase from before the Moroccan invasion. On July 30 and 31, over 80,000 people crossed the border into Ceuta, a Spanish city of 83,000 inhabitants. The influx included both adults and minors, men and women from Morocco and Sub-Saharan nations. The invasion exposed the challenges in enforcing Spain's border controls.
Despite assurances of expulsion for those who entered illegally, Brussels is proposing to monitor the crisis closely. Estimates suggest that more than 10,000 individuals remain in Ceuta, camping on beaches and wandering the streets, causing concerns over sanitation and security. Daily, one sexual offense is reported, while 200 crime reports are filed with the police—ten times the pre-assault rate.
The Spanish government plans to relocate 500 girls, young women, and adult women to mainland Spain, a move met with resistance from PP-governed autonomous regions. These regions remind the government of their earlier promise to expel everyone who entered illegally, except for minors—provided they are individually identified, have a file created, and are not left destitute.
