  "account": "Spanish authorities have dismantled a migrant encampment located on a beach in Ceuta, a North African territory, in preparation for a visit by King Felipe and Queen Letizia, according to a Reuters report. Over 72,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta from Morocco between late July and early October, straining local resources and exacerbating tensions. Despite many of the migrants eventually returning to Morocco, around 10,000 individuals remained at Trampolin beach, living in tents and makeshift dwellings for two months. Police relocated these individuals to temporary facilities where they can be processed or repatriated to Morocco. Local residents demonstrated on Saturday, urging the migrants to leave the enclave, which is home to 80,000 people. The royal visit is set to take place from October 13 to 14, a period marked by ongoing disputes with Morocco, which asserts territorial claims over both Ceuta and Melilla, another Spanish enclave in North Africa.",
