Fear after the fire in Tarajal: “I don’t know what will happen tonight, if the fire will come back, if they will shoot us again”
The causes of the fire that burned 42 shanties in one of Ceuta's irregular settlements remain unclear.
Nihad El Mazraoui, a 29-year-old from Castillejos, is planning to return to Morocco due to uncertainty and fear. She has been sleeping outdoors with her husband at Las Naves del Tarajal since crossing the border on July 31. Their makeshift tent, made of pallets, survived a fire that destroyed 42 shanties on Thursday morning. El Mazraoui has two children, aged eight and three.
