Spanish Police Clear Migrants From Ceuta Beaches

Al Jazeera · world

Spanish police began clearing thousands of migrants from the beaches of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on North Africa's coast. The operation involved riot police using rubber bullets and batons. Ceuta experienced a record influx of over 72,000 migrants from Morocco in July, though most have since left. Authorities are housing 1,700 people in new temporary facilities at the port, but NGOs report thousands remain unhoused. EU officials noted images from Ceuta fuel far-right support.
