More than 800 unaccompanied migrant children remain stranded in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta after a massive influx of migrants crossed from Morocco into the territory in recent days.
Many of the children reportedly endured traumatic experiences during the journey, with some witnessing family members drown while attempting to reach Spain. Thousands of migrants crossed into Ceuta by sea or around the border fence in search of safety and better economic opportunities in Europe.
Spanish authorities estimate that between 3,000 and 5,000 migrants have remained in Ceuta after many others were returned to Morocco or chose to return voluntarily. Among those still in the city are children without parents or guardians, leaving them in an uncertain humanitarian situation.
One 17-year-old girl from Tangier said she became separated from her mother during the crossing and watched rescue teams recover the body of her younger brother from the sea. After finding government shelters overcrowded, she has been relying on local residents for food and temporary shelter.
Under Spanish law, unaccompanied migrant children are entitled to immediate protection and care from child welfare authorities. Officials are required to identify minors and ensure they are not deported without proper legal procedures.
The migrant reception centre in Ceuta, designed to accommodate about 600 people, is operating beyond capacity. Many migrants are sleeping outdoors, on beaches, and in nearby hills while facing shortages of food and other basic necessities.
The remaining migrant population includes people from several countries, including Sudan, Gaza, Afghanistan, and other African nations, many of whom are fleeing conflict, persecution, or economic hardship.
Spanish authorities continue to manage the humanitarian response while processing asylum claims and coordinating with Morocco following the large-scale border crossing.
