Nervios y miedo entre familias migrantes acampadas en las calles de Ceuta: “Damos vueltas para encontrar dónde dormir”

Jóvenes que duermen en el polígono de El Tarajal aseguran que les están tirando sus pertenencias y varias mujeres cuentan que les han dicho que se tienen que ir el jueves

Nervios y miedo entre familias migrantes acampadas en las calles de Ceuta: “Damos vueltas para encontrar dónde dormir”

Families of migrants living in the streets of Ceuta are experiencing anxiety and fear, as they were told they will no longer be able to camp in the city's streets. On Tuesday morning at 7 AM, a group of women approached a Polígono de El Tarajal ship where Police National agents were working, informing them that a security employee had warned them they would no longer be allowed to camp in the city's streets by Thursday noon.

They were asked to calm down and sit down, but claim that no explanations were given. When they realized they were not being attended to, they began to circle the autonomous city to find a place to settle down. Farah Dayay and Nihad, two Moroccan immigrant women aged 40 and 26 with 14 and 4 year old children respectively, were among them.

Dayay said, "We have been circling for a place to sleep, we have asked at Príncipe, at Sidi Embarek (where the locals have camps for women and children) but nothing, we are afraid of what will happen to us." Government sources assure EL PAÍS that there is no planned eviction operation in this zone for that day.
