Ceuta takes to the streets to demand solutions to the migration crisis

A large demonstration was held in Ceuta on Wednesday to demand solutions to the city's ongoing migratory crisis. The protest, which drew around 20,000 people according to the Government Delegation, comes over a month after over 70,000 people entered the city on July 30 and 31. The demonstrators, who marched for at least three hours, called for the expulsion of migrants and protection from Morocco, while criticizing the government's handling of the situation.

The protest was part of a week-long series of demonstrations and events in the city of 83,000 inhabitants.
