Spain’s government has approved over €306 million in new aid for Ceuta, its small territory on the northern coast of Africa.
Madrid says the money will support “all fronts” as the city struggles to manage thousands of migrants who crossed into the enclave last month.
The funding is meant to help with housing, security, and basic services in Ceuta, which has faced a sharp increase in population pressure.
Spanish officials did not specify a timeline for the aid distribution, but described the package as part of a broader response to the situation.
Ceuta shares a land border with Morocco and has long been a focal point for migration into Europe. The recent influx has stretched local resources and triggered political debate in Spain.
