Spanish Police Clear Migrants From Ceuta Beaches

Authorities move to disperse thousands still camped on the shoreline months after a mass border crossing from Morocco.

Spanish police carried out operations to clear migrants from beaches in the North African enclave of Ceuta, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

The action comes months after roughly 72,000 migrants broke through a border fence from Morocco into the Spanish territory in July, the report said.

At least 10,000 of those who entered during that surge remain in Ceuta, Al Jazeera reported, with many having taken shelter on the enclave's beaches in the time since.

Al Jazeera did not provide further detail in the excerpt on the specific circumstances of the clearance operation, the destination of those removed, or statements from Spanish or Moroccan officials.

Ceuta, along with Melilla, is one of two Spanish enclaves on the North African coast that share land borders with Morocco and have long been flashpoints for migration between Africa and Europe.
