  "summary": "Spanish authorities are planning to transfer approximately 500 particularly vulnerable unaccompanied youths from the North African Spanish exclave of Ceuta to mainland Spain. The Ministry of Youth and Children has devised a mechanism to place these children, mainly girls, in adapted facilities on the mainland, ensuring their welfare without transferring custody to regional authorities. This plan, which requires a royal decree, aims to protect the children's welfare and has already moved 97 of the 500 girls selected, aged 9 to 17, to improved facilities.",
