Migration: EU unveils multi-million aid package for Ceuta
At the end of July, more than 70,000 people had arrived in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta from Morocco in just two days. Spain's request for immediate assistance is now being met with an aid package.
The EU is providing Spain with around 115 million euros to manage migration in the North African exclave of Ceuta. The funds will be used to strengthen border protection and surveillance, provide dignified accommodation for unaccompanied minors, and repatriate people without residence permits. Spain submitted a request for emergency assistance on August 24, following a surge of around 72,000 migrants who crossed into Ceuta from Morocco on July 30 and 31. Several thousand migrants remained in the area a month later.
