After thousands of migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta in July, many who remain—including women, girls, and other unaccompanied minors—are struggling to meet basic needs like food, water, shelter, and sanitation. In response, Spain is expanding migrant shelters in the territory to ease the humanitarian crisis. The new facilities aim to provide safer, more stable conditions for those still waiting for processing or placement. Authorities say the expansion is a temporary measure, but the long-term situation remains uncertain as pressure on the enclave’s resources continues.
