A doctor from the University Hospital of Ceuta has stated that the migratory crisis in the region has reached alarming levels, describing the situation as a "humanitarian disaster." According to her account, more than 4,000 urgent cases have been treated at the medical center in the last three days, which is now overwhelmed.

On the other hand, a debate has been opened regarding the possible responsibilities for the migratory crisis. The influence of social media, smuggling networks, and Morocco's role in increasing the arrival of immigrants in Ceuta are mentioned, although opinions on these aspects vary.
