The Ministry of the Interior has reported that a total of 2,168 minors have been identified in Ceuta since July 30. This figure represents an increase of 270 minors in just five days.

The situation has led the National Police to place these minors under guardianship in the autonomous city, resulting in strain on local reception resources.

Due to overcrowding, the authorities in Ceuta have had to establish new emergency facilities to accommodate the rise in the number of migrant minors.

According to reports, this situation has arisen following a massive influx of people, making it necessary to strengthen the care and protection for these minors. As the situation evolves, authorities continue to adjust the available resources.
