Nervousness and fear among migrant families camped out on the streets of Ceuta: “We’re walking around in circles trying to find somewhere to sleep”

A group of migrant women appeared at a building in Ceuta's El Tarajal industrial area on Tuesday morning to inform National Police officers that a security employee had told them they would have to leave the area on Thursday. The women claim they were not given any explanation and, feeling unattended, began roaming the city to find a new place to settle.

Two of the women, Farah Dayay and Nihad, aged 40 and 26, with children in their care, said they had been searching for a new place to stay, but were met with no solution. The Spanish government denies that any eviction operation was planned for that day.
