Ceuta authorities removed about 150 migrants from the El Guano migrant settlement on Sunday, two days before the royal visit by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. The clearance, involving over 350 officers from various forces, aimed to maintain public order, identify migrants, and ensure sanitary conditions in reception centers. The operation came after the recent removal of the El Trampolín beach camp.
Residents had anticipated the clearance, with some asking about the arrival of Moroccan officials. Adults were transported to the Temporary Reception Centre for Foreigners (CATE) in El Tarajal, while children were directed to other facilities. However, emergency accommodation remains scarce, with authorities struggling to accommodate the influx of migrants arriving in Ceuta since late July.
