Ceuta: Spanish authorities begin transferring migrants from beaches to tent facilities at port
Spanish authorities have begun moving people who were living on the beaches of the Spanish enclave to a new tent accommodation structure set up at the port, according to Le Monde.
The transfer of migrants who were living on the beaches of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, to tents set up at the city's port has begun, Le Monde reported in an article published on September 18, 2026.
According to the newspaper, the exact number of people who were on Ceuta's beaches remains unknown at this stage. However, Le Monde notes that this number would exceed the capacity of the new facility set up at the port.
The article provides no further details on the conditions of the transfer, the authorities involved in the operation, or the timeline for its completion.
This situation fits within the broader context of migration pressure facing the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, a key entry point for people attempting to reach Europe from the African continent.
