Spanish authorities in Ceuta have begun moving around 2,000 migrants from public areas into temporary facilities following July's border surge.

Spanish authorities in Ceuta have begun relocating approximately 2,000 migrants into two newly established temporary reception facilities. The measure aims to clear public streets and beaches where around 1,800 to 2,000 individuals remained following a massive border crossing from Morocco in late July.

While heightened security deployed by Spanish and Moroccan forces successfully prevented a rumored secondary mass crossing on 15 August, tensions remain high among local residents due to public disruptions. Officials stated that the temporary accommodations will provide shelter and basic humanitarian support while processing continues for those remaining in the enclave.
